VOTE!

Well people this is it. This is your chance to vote for the best startups and people in Europe. Out of the sheer need to filter the thousands of people in this industry across Europe we have missed out many great startups and people. But what you see below are the ones this year’s Advisory Board picked out as representing the best new early stage startups in Europe, and the people making it all happen. Everyone here is a winner already. Not a single company or person here is not amazing at what they do already. But in the end, there is always a filter. So we’re asking you to feed in your choices for the best in Europe. From this will come our final finalists for the awards on November 17 in London. VOTING ENDS ON NOVEMBER 1st. You can vote only once in each category. So get voting!

UPDATE:

As of Nov 1st, the voting is now over, but here is the public voting shortlist for your reference.
