Techvibes has just unveiled the finalists for 2012's Canadian Startup Awards with Toronto startups snagging more spots than any other city.
The finalists this year were selected from "well over 1,200 nominees," writes Techvibes president Rob Lewis in a
blog post announcing the shortlist. It's a list, happily, that features many Toronto startups, and includes several you might have learned about here on Yonge Street.
Among them are photo sharing site 500px, which has seen exponential growth in its staff over the past year, and also
made its first acquisition, Algo Anywhere, in 2012;
Wave, which makes cloud-based apps for small businesses; and data sharing platform
Hubba, which helps retailers and brands tell their stories more effectively.
Techvibes introduced the awards, in conjunction with consulting firm KPMG, just last year. Toronto-based e-reading company
Wattpad won that inaugural award, after more than 11,000 votes were cast.
You have until midnight on Friday, January 25 to
cast your ballot.
