Colorado Inno is accepting nominations for its startup bracket challenge.
Inno Madness is designed to generate awareness and excitement for the state’s ecosystem and those that are driving it forward.
So, how does Inno Madness work? It’s easy. Nominate a Colorado startup. We’re looking for private, tech-enabled businesses that are innovating the local startup ecosystem. The Colorado Inno team will assemble brackets of private, fast-growing, tech-enabled local businesses, based on your nominations. Nominations for bootstrapped startups are also accepted.
In late March, we’ll reveal the bracket and companies will go head-to-head throughout four rounds with you, our readers, voting to determine who moves on from every matchup. Each week, we’ll post the updated bracket and voting will begin again. At the end, we’ll announce our 2024 Inno Madness Winner.
Here are some things to consider when nominating a business for this bracket challenge:
- Has the company raised any funding?
- In one sentence, why would you invest in this startup (i.e., an interesting concept or product, social impact, long-term potential, notable growth, etc.)?
Nominations can be submitted here, and voting rules allow for one vote per person per day. Don’t wait, though, the nomination period for Inno Madness ends on Wednesday, March 13.
