Let me start by saying it was a VERY difficult process to get here - to be able to happily announce the Final Four Launch Padders who’ll present live on our main stage at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference on Wednesday, June 24th.
Starting with 80 (or so) companies we went through 4 intense voting rounds and whittled down to our Elite Eight (actually nine) companies.
“This year’s response for the Enterprise 2.0 Launch Pad program was the best we’ve seen yet,” said Steve Wylie, General Manager and Conference Director for the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. “The sheer amount of companies participating signify the incredible innovation happening in the space. These four finalists will present their unique technologies to our audiences, demonstrating new and applicable solutions that can improve the way we work and communicate.”
- Here are your finalists, congratulations!
- Bantam - a provider of online workspaces for business teams with real-time, streaming “social CRM” to keep track of people and business
- youcalc - where business people create and share custom reports and analytics on data from SaaS systems with zero coding required
- Brainpark - a smart and simple software product that helps employees learn from one another and become more productive at work
- Manymoon - a social productivity application that makes it simple to share and organize tasks, events, documents, status, links and projects
And congratulations to all our runners up, and everyone company who participated. And thanks to everyone who voted. Hope to see you at our event.
NOTE: Now in our second year we recognize that the voting system we use may not be the most accurate method of tallying true votes. Finalists were selected after taking the ratings data and filtering it through a system that de-duped IP addresses based on time stamps and range - because we requested only 1 vote per person. We applied the filter to ALL the companies and selected the top 4 with the highest scores, as stated in our voting guidelines.
