VENICE CALIFORINIA — Venice-based Weavy <weavy/> today announced that its embeddable collaboration platorm was named a Top 15 Startup of the Year on Wednesday at the 2018 Edition of Startup of the Year competition in Boston, Massachusetts October 15-17. Past participants include GrubHub, Groupon, LivingSocial, AddThis, Desk, and Uber.
Founded in 2006, Startup of the Year screens innovative startups across the globe for the most promising ideas and helps them develop their branding and go-to-market strategies.
Said Rickard Hansson, Weavy <weavy/> CEO and Founder, “It was a great event and we are really pleased with the outcome. To reach the top 15 out of a very talented group of more than 1,000 innovative companies screened for the final 100 presentations in Boston is quite an accomplishment. We owe this to a very talented programming team in Malmo, Sweden – particularly Linus Birgerstam, Johan Jeppson, Magnus Krona, and Klas Lundberg. We were a Red Herring Global 100 winner in 2017, so reaching the Top 15 in Startup of the Year puts us on a great trajectory.”
“The enterprise collaboration space is full of great technologies. Our selection stems from our innovative software platform that provides independent software developers (ISV) with an embeddable collaboration platform they can easily and quickly add to their software applications with a single line of code. We’ve been delivering our <weavy/> embedded collaboration platform to clients for the past 18 months. Startup of the Year was a great experience and I would encourage every startup to apply for consideration in the 2019 program,” said Hansson.
