The competition to earn a spot as one of Startup50-Network World’s 10 Hot IoT Startups to Watch began last week with 79 nominees.
The first round eliminated 14 startups. (Please refer to our 3 Rounds to Find 10 Hot Startups post to learn more about our selection process).
Round 2: Online Voting
The 65 IoT startups that made it into Round 2 range from high-risk/high-reward stealth-mode startups to more established startups with big-dollar VC rounds in their back pockets.
Each could be the next big thing in IoT, and I need your help to narrow down the field!
The 20 startups who earn the most votes in Round 2 will move on, while the bottom 45 will be eliminated.
Below is the list of the 64 remaining startups vying to be one of our 10 Hot IoT Startups, along with a thumbnail description of each.
You may vote once per day, and only once per day! (Please read our Rules of Engagement process for more info on voting rules.)
Online Voting will open at 10 AM PT on Wednesday, April 4 and run until 5 PM PT on Friday, April 6.
