Over the past month, we've been collecting nominations for our Coolest Companies Competition, our inaugural friendly competition celebrating the Austin companies with amazing culture and products. We've received a ton of nominations from companies with unreal workspaces, fun outings, parties and happy hours, and the most enthusiastic, tight-knit teams who focus on innovating in Austin. It wasn't easy, but we whittled down the entries to a list of 100 finalists -- see below.
Starting right now, you have the opportunity to weigh in on the winners in our Readers' Choice voting here! The two companies with the most votes will be crowned at AustinFest, along with the other eight winners, who will be selected by our panel of judges.
Take a look at the finalists and tell us who you think is the Coolest Company by September 9th. Then, grab your team a bundle of tickets so you don't miss the crowning of the Coolest Companies winners at AustinFest on September 14th. Get tickets here.
