58 Hot Storage Startups compete to be one of Network World’s “10 Hot Storage Startups to Watch”
The competition to earn a spot as one of Startup50-Network World’s 10 Hot Storage Startups to Watch has reached the finish line.
We started with 58 nominees. The first round eliminated 19 startups. In the online voting round, we narrowed the field to 20. The 20 finalists all demonstrated the ability to motivate their followers to action.
Those 20 finalists are listed below. Every single one of them could have been featured in the final roundup – the field was just that good – but the 10 left standing were more engaged, better funded, and had more on-the-record customers, to name just a few of the reasons they made the final lineup.
