Looking for a chance to take your business to the next level? Salesforce<\/a> is seeking out trailblazing companies to compete for a $10,000 prize and the opportunity to be featured in Inc.<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

Salesforce is looking for \u201csmall businesses that have come up with some cutting-edge solutions that will revolutionize our lives,\u201d says Kelly James, product and marketing director at the San Francisco-based cloud technology company.<\/p>\n

How do you apply? Send in a quick elevator pitch about your company, along with notes about what inspires you, how you\u2019re being innovative in your field, and what you\u2019ll do with the prize money. You should submit responses to these questions<\/a> by Dec. 9.<\/p>\n

Salesforce will select five entrepreneurs to pitch their companies at a one-day pop-up event called Small Business Basecamp<\/a>, which will be held in New York City on Dec. 14. Judges will include Inc<\/em>. Editor Jim Ledbetter and Salesforce Vice President Jamie Domenici.<\/p>\n

The contest is open to all small and medium-sized businesses, who must be able to send a representative to the New York pitch event. James says that Salesforce\u2014which has space in WeWork buildings in New York, Denver, Austin, and Seattle\u2014is encouraging other WeWork members to apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe there are so many amazing ideas that come out of this community,\u201d James says. \u201cWe want to put the spotlight on WeWork and also showcase the awesomeness that comes from it.\u201d<\/p>\n
