As we prepare for the upcoming Tech Cocktail Seattle Mixer and Startup Showcase later this month (register here), we’re curious who is Seattle’s hottest startup?  As the headquarters of a number of iconic companies such as Amazon, Starbucks and Microsoft plus newer companies like Zillow, Redfin and Cheezburger, Seattle also hosts a top 15 accelerator program (TechStars Seattle – #7) and Startup Weekend HQ- so obviously the Seattle startup scene is teeming with potential. Seattle is also the home to Geekwire an independent technology news site covering the people, companies and innovations emerging from the Pacific Northwest.
