As we recently reported, Red Canary launched a feature spotlighting a number of startups in the KW area (Guelph included).
Sure, there’s plenty of info and opinion out there about local 800lb gorillas like RIM and OpenText, but what are things like among some of the smaller companies? Who are the 800lb gorillas of tomorrow? Votes were cast in 5 categories:
- Most Likely to Win BIG
- Best Tech Team
- Best Leadership
- Best Product
- Best Place to Work
and the results are in! we’re pretty chuffed to be able to report that PostRank was the only company to place in the top 5 in every category. Sure, coming in first in every category would have been awesome, but we actually like the competition a lot, so we’re cool with the results.
Big congratulations to our friends at Well.ca, who came in tops in the overall rankings (most points). They deserve every bit of the kudos (though we’ll totally kick your well-exfoliated butts next year!)
The commentary on the voting and rankings at the bottom of the page is interesting, too. I’d love to know specifics like where people who voted live and work, but I think it does point to the tech community in the KW area needing to do a bit more to market our companies, our skills, and ourselves to the world. Fortunately, given the cool products and tech, brilliant people, and great culture we have going on around here, this should not prove difficult.
