Round one of Cincy Inno's Tech Madness received nearly 1,900 votes and featured some incredibly close matchups.
If there's anything to be learned from round one it's this: Never doubt the importance of a couple clicks. Action Streamer beat out ReadySet Surgical by just two votes.
Next up, Action Streamer, the top vote-getter of round one, faces digital-product agency Differential. Action Streamer has raised more than twice the amount of capital than Differential, but will this amount to a round two win? Tech Madness has seen matchups go either way.
The Last Sixteen also features a handful of companies from similar industries squaring off for a spot in the Quarter Finals. At the top of the bracket, there's a med-tech matchup between Enable Injections and Eccrine Systems. There are also several SaaS standoffs, such as Tilr and Cloverleaf.
To determine the outcome of each matchup we want you to ask yourselves this question: Who would you invest in? This can be interpreted a number of different ways. Is this about which startup could deliver the highest return? Who you think is the safest bet? Or is it about supporting a project or mission you’re passionate about? However you decide to interpret that question is up to you.
Remember, information about each company is available in the bracket. Just click on the arrows by the company name listed beneath each picture.
