Four teams remain in Inno Madness, Orlando Inno's bracket-style tech tournament.
The second round attracted over 2,000 voters — the most we've seen vote in round two of the annual bracket challenge. The field narrows further this week and we're watching to see if supporters will show signs of fatigue or if they'll rally.
Inno Madness does more than spotlight individual businesses. It's designed to illuminate the startup community as a whole. If the company you voted for got knocked out in round two, consider voting for one of the startups still in the running. That will keep momentum strong and help spread the word about the region's innovative community.
Here are all the round two results, the winners noted with an asterisk.
Matchup 1
- Career Scoops: AI-driven career finder for teens*
- Kash Tech: Data-driven business optimization
Matchup 2
- Suntek Lawn Care: Silent, zero-emissions lawn care equipment
- Digital Pixel Displays: Digital pixel display screens*

And now it's time for round three. Vote today, share the link, harness your network and support the businesses you believe in.

The bracket is designed to shine a spotlight on business innovation in Central Florida. This bracket is by no means a complete list of the area's best startups or most well-funded firms. Instead, the bracket is meant to represent the full diversity of the ecosystem.
The bracket is assembled based on nominations. Seeding was determined by investment raised since the companies' launch, based on information provided in the nominations.
Disappointed your company isn't included this year? Be sure to check in with Orlando Inno in early 2025, when we will take nominations for next year's Orlando Inno Madness competition.
