March Madness is here, but the sporting world isn't the only one that can get hyped up about good old fashion competition.
Atlanta Inno is introducing Tech Madness this year, a reader-driven bracket competition in the spirit of March Madness highlighting some of the local startup scene’s biggest, brightest and most exciting technology companies.
During the month of March, 32 Atlanta-based startups will go head-to-head in the bracket and readers like you will decide who goes on to the next round.
When voting, we want you to ask yourself this question: Who would you invest in? Whether you answer that question based on who you think would garner the highest return, the safest investment or which startup really reflects your mission in life is entirely up to you. The startups selected are private, venture-backed or bootstrapped businesses we seeded based on funding and other growth metrics.
Money rules the world, and since funding is our most accessible metric in the startup ecosystem, we used it to determine who would be included in the bracket. The matchups are completely random, with our 32 "teams" divided into four groups that represent Atlanta hip-hop, just for fun: The Migos, OutKast, Boyz N Da Hood and TLC.
The winning company of Tech Madness will win total bragging rights for the rest of the year, and maybe even another little prize to go with it.
The first round of Atlanta Inno's Tech Madness ends Thursday, March 14, at 11:59 p.m. Vote for your favorite companies then share with friends and colleagues to help us determine a winner.
