Orlando Inno now is accepting nominations for Inno Madness, our annual bracket competition designed to generate awareness of the region's startup ecosystem.
How does Inno Madness work? It's easy. We're building a bracket — and we want your input.
Here's how you can take part: Nominate a local startup — your own or someone else's.
Any private company in the technology sector — or with an innovative product or service — in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole or Volusia counties is eligible. The Orlando Inno team will assemble brackets using the input you provide, and we'll share the resulting bracket matchups in early March.
At that point, companies will go head-to-head throughout subsequent rounds of voting with you, our readers, determining who moves on from every matchup. At the end of all the matchups after the weekly rounds of voting, we'll announce our Inno Madness winner.
This is the second year of our Inno Madness competition. Last year, weather data company WeatherFlow-Tempest Inc. beat out Beep Inc. to take the top spot.
Nominations can be submitted here, but don't wait. The nomination period for Inno Madness ends Feb. 10.
