That seems fairly disturbing; couldn't you just say "you must follow @startuppack to be eligible"? Then you wouldn't need ongoing write permission to the user's Twitter account.
Disturbing is an exaggeration, but it would certainly be just as easy to get read only rights (just to confirm it's you) and also check to see if they're following.
I'm genuinely curious... why do so many people seem to think this is a phishing scam? If your business is registered by a US state, that information is on the public record. It includes your name, business address, and date of registration. Your company URL, and company email as well aren't supposed to be private info. I'd expect you'd have them prominently placed on your website. I know I do.

Will there be any exceptions for companies that are not (yet) incorporated? E.g. a company that has many big name clients/users, great product, solid community and following, etc.?
This year of incorporation requirement seems to miss the point... I incorporated in 2010 (missed the cutoff date to qualify by 17 days) but the registration was mostly to hold the name way before I had started to develop the product. Now I'm getting to the point where I could use the help but because I registered the name too long ago I can't partake? Seems like the qualification should have more to do with how long…
Date of incorporation is an easy to measure, non-fuzzy data point. How do you determine the date of becoming active?
