Sportsfans,
I write as a former GeekWire “Geek of the Year” to encourage you to
stuff the ballot box for the GeekWire Awards in favor of Ali Farhadi’s
Xnor.ai, nominated for “AI Innovation of the Year.” Please vote early
and often here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GeekWireAwards2019Ballot
You might also consider:
Next Tech Titan: Rover, co-founded by our friend Greg Gottesman.
Deal of the Year / Funding: Convoy, whose engineering team is led by
our alum Tim Prouty.
Health Innovation of the Year: KenSci, founded by outstanding UW-T
data scientist Ankur Teredesai.
Lots of other great choices in these and other categories!
