Along with reporting on whatever interesting tech happenings we find in Austin, Texas during the annual South by Southwest festival, the VentureBeat team and Buzzstarter also set out to find a new set of Win30s champions.
In case you need a refresher on our contest, startups pitched our official Win30s team with short video pitches, and we’ve been selecting the best and most shared ones throughout the contest.
