At DC Inno, we cover dozens of local startups every week, always looking to see who could be the next great success story in the local innovation economy. But now it's that time of year where we put the power in your hands to tell us who you think is going to crush it in 2016 and the years to come. And we all get to have a little fun while doing it.
What does this mean? It means that Tech Madness is back, baby.
Starting with 64 local tech companies, we’ll take your votes on which you think are the best contenders to be the most valuable DC tech company in five years' time.
Before we get to the voting, we need you to help us pick the DC-area tech companies, from startups to anchors, that we should include among the starting 64. Click here and fill out the form, to nominate the company you think most deserves a slot in the bracket.
Nominations for Tech Madness companies will run until Feb. 12. We'll select the 64 and seed them based on factors including how much capital they've raised.
The finalists will be announced on Feb. 17, and we'll be holding a kickoff event to reveal the bracket in March—so keep an eye out for that.
Oh and by the way, last year's winner—Contactually—has since lived up to its winning hype, closing a new $8 million round at the end of 2015 and continuing to hire at a rapid clip. This is the real deal, folks!
Thank you to our sponsors!
