The rest of the companies on stage get considerable promotion from the people in attendance and those that have signed up to check out their product. I think what was interesting is that the different judges on the dias said that there wasn't a "game changer" except for one called CitySourced.I don't think that it's a fair assumption that any company who gets to pitch their product on the stage of TC50 will automatically be considered to be "made".

But what about the rest of the crowd? How many do you think will push it to the next level? Is it that once they have made the TC50 they are "made" companies?
