This Thursday Launch Party Vancouver 5 (LPV5) will include a cool start-up contest co-sponsored by Bootup Labs and Fasken Martineau. While the video contest is only open to the seven companies demoing at the Launch Party event, two 2008 New Ventures BC contestants have made the cut and could win the Grand Prize of $1,000 for being the “Most Likely to Succeed”.

All it takes is an entrepreneur + Macbook/webcam, clearly communicating what their start-up does and how far they will go to make their company succeed in a 90 second or less video clip. The videos will be judged, not for their production value or the quality of their pitch but on whether or not the panel of experts believes the idea has the legs to go the long haul.

Round 2 qualifier Clarity Accounting and round 3 qualifier PeerFX will both be on the ballot, so drop by the LPV5 contest site to view the videos on Thursday morning and to cast your vote.
