It’s a new year, a new decade, and this March, we’re back with our 7th annual Tech Madness Championship. DC Inno is bringing the tech and startup communities together for some healthy competition…bracket-style. Submit your nomination here.
Tech Madness is our annual bracket challenge designed to generate awareness and excitement for the DC metro area’s ecosystem, and those that are driving it forward. The DC Inno team will assemble a bracket of fast-growing, tech-enabled local businesses, based on your nominations. We will reveal the bracket and matchups in March.
Then we’ll ask the community to vote on each matchup in every round. Companies go head-to-head, with DC Inno’s readers determining who moves on by answering just one question – who would you invest in? When you think about why you would invest in a company, it can be because you like their product, think they are going to be worth the most in the next few years, maybe you believe in their mission or you simply want to see them succeed. It’s up to you! (Last year, the DC Inno Tech Madness brackets recorded over 80,000 votes.)
So, how does Tech Madness work? Nominations are now open, until February 21. Nominate a DC area startup. (We’re looking for private, tech-enabled businesses.) In March, we’ll reveal the bracket and companies will go head-to-head throughout 6 rounds with you, our readers, voting to determine who moves on from every matchup. Every week, we’ll post the updated bracket and voting will begin again. At the end, we’ll announce our 2020 Tech Madness Winner!
