Fourth place was taken securely with 6.6 percent of the votes by SeniorChecked. Personal rounded out the top 5 with 5.48 percent of the poll votes. The rest of the top ten included: TroopSwap, Canvas, thestrEATS, Locl.ly and “Other” write-ins. The top ten early-stage startups include two companies that have been funded by Grotech Ventures – HelloWallet and Personal. Nearly all of the top ten early-stage startup companies have participated in a Tech Cocktail event so it’s great to see them all doing well in the eyes of the community. Interestingly, the most common “Other” write-in was a company called: EventFarm, which offers an alternative to Eventbrite or TicketLeap for online event ticketing.
