Say hello to the ten winning Showoff startups that will be exhibiting at the upcoming Twiistup 6, an event that is sure to make its mark on the Los Angeles tech and social media community for years to come. The team of judges, including bub.blicio.us’ own Brian Solis, certainly had their hands full – but they’ve narrowed it down to a list of ten startups that are as impressive as they are diverse.
Oh but there’s more! Event producers have also upped the number of Showoffs to twelve, and are putting the choice in the hands of the public, allowing you to vote on which two startups you think are most worthy of the opportunity to “show off.” Stay tuned for voting information!
Congratulations to the Showoff winners:
