The Canadian Innovation Exchange (CIX) yesterday announced their list of the Top 20 Innovative Canadian Companies for 2009, and PostRank made the grade!
Each year, 20 tech companies, innovating in the fields of clean technologies, information technology and digital media, are selected to showcase their product or service for the CIX community.
On December 2nd, at the Design Exchange in Toronto, each company will deliver a 7-minute presentation about what they’re doing, where they’re headed, and how it’s changing the world. A judging panel of industry experts will evaluate each company’s product and provide constructive feedback and guidance.
The community present at the event will then vote for the winner of the CIX 2009 Award for “Canadian Innovation Leader”. (Fingers crossed!)
The PostRank team submitted an application focusing on innovations in web analytics. When asked to describe why our innovation deserves to be one of the CIX Top 20, this is, in part, what we had to say:
Our algorithms are based on actual audience activity, so scoring is not subjective to opinion, and takes into account many more factors that contribute to how content and publishers become influential online.
PostRank’s real-time, content-focused functionality enables people to discover engagement with ALL their content, not just “magic” words. It also enables seeing how the audience is reacting as it happens, facilitating immediate interaction to answer questions, provide additional information, and build relationships.
PostRank is in some pretty illustrious company on the list, and we want to extend extra big congratulations to the other Kitchener-Waterloo companies representing: Aeryon Labs, IGLOO, and Metranome. And also to Overlay.TV, which, along with Metranome and PostRank, are Tech Capital portfolio companies.
