Meet Nine Startups Making the Future

Back in October we opened our doors at Startupbootcamp IoT | Connected Devices to nine startups, beginning a three month program of acceleration which culminates in Demo Day next Wednesday (Jan 25th).

I can’t wait to see our nine teams — mixing high-quality engineering, technical ability & strong business experience — pitching their products from a broad range of IoT applications to a room full of investors, partners and mentors (if you would like to attend then you can register on our website).

So without further ado, introducing our nine startups making the future…
