Cincy Inno is looking for nominations for its seventh-annual startup bracket challenge.
Inno Madness, formerly known as Tech Madness, is designed to generate awareness and excitement for Cincinnati's ecosystem – and those driving it forward. This year, we're extending the competition beyond tech to recognize all types of innovators.
So, how does Inno Madness work? It's easy. Nominate a local startup. We’re looking for private, tech-enabled businesses or companies that support innovation. The Cincy Inno team will then assemble brackets based on your nominations.
We’ll reveal the bracket next week, and companies will go head-to-head throughout six rounds with you, our readers, voting to determine who moves on from every matchup. Every week, we’ll post the updated bracket and voting will begin again. We’ll announce our annual Inno Madness winner at the end.
Here's what to consider:
- Has the company raised any funding?
- In one sentence, why would you invest in this company (i.e., an interesting concept or product, social impact, long-term potential, etc.)?
- What else do you want to share about the company you are nominating?
Nominations can be submitted to lengel@bizjournals.com.
Don't wait. The nomination period for Inno Madness ends March 13.
