Big 50-2016: the Final 80

After Round 2 voting, these startups are the Final 80 left standing. These startups are now vying for a position in the Big 50-2016. If your startup is not listed, it has been eliminated from the Big-50-2016.

Of the remaining 80 startups, 50 will make it into the final report. The final 50 will be selected by the Startup50 team based on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) funding, named customers, market opportunity, positioning within the market, the startup’s key differentiator (or lack thereof), and the strength of the competition.

***If you see your startup listed below, and you have not yet filled out the Questionnaire for the Final 80, please do so ASAP. We have extended the deadline until 5 PM PT tomorrow, Thursday, April 14. Any finalists who do not fill out the questionnaire by 5 PM PT tomorrow will be eliminated from the Big 50.****
