Each year we give startups a platform to launch new services duringThe Next Web Conference(8 days left, some tickets left). Eighteen companies will get the chance to show their company on the main stage to a worldwide audience consisting of the Jury of Experts, industry journalists, VC’s, bloggers, potential users, potential exit partners and the thousands of people who watch the on-demand videos afterwards.You can imagine that this is an important moment for the selected startups.
Microsoft BizSparkteamed up with The Next Web to make this happen (Thank you!)The editorial team of TNW has been reviewing startups for weeks, watched secret video presentations of the startups and did interviews with the semi finalists to go from 203 submissions to the final 18 that will launch new stuff next week. The quality of the competing startups goes up each year, it was never so difficult to make a selection.
We’re very excited to present the 18 finalists of The Next Web Startup Rally powered by BizSpark (in no particular order):
