The East Coast startup ecosystem is a force to be reckoned with. Between Washington DC, New England and Silicon Alley, cities and states on the East Coast have shown the world that innovative ideas grow best when sprinkled with a little salt from the Atlantic Ocean. And TechCo plans on showcasing as many as possible.
For the fifth year in a row, TechCo is looking to crown the Startup of the Year at our annual conference, Innovate and Celebrate. The 100 semi-finalists represent a wide range of industries, from fintech to edtech and everything in between, showcasing all kinds of innovative products, services, and innovations.
