The 2023 Big50 Hot Startup Competition is now live! Tech startups founded in 2014 or later are eligible for this year’s Big50 Startup Competition, but your organization must be an actual startup to compete. In other words, spin-outs, subsidiaries, and cool ideas with no funding and no customers. . . are not really startups, at least as far as this competition is concerned.
If your startup was founded in 2014 or later, has raised VC or at least some seed funding, won a reputable startup competition, or run a successful crowdfunding campaign, read on. We want you in this competition!
Past Big50 winners include startups that were acquired by major incumbents, such as Datrium (VMware), Stringify (Comcast), and Viptela (Cisco). Several Big50 winners also exited via IPOs, including Asana, Cloudflare, and Snowflake.
