HackerNoon’s annual Startups ✨ of The Year (SOTY) 2024 has officially COMMENCED 🎉 🎊 ✨

Nominations (how to here) and voting 🗳️ for the best companies are NOW open! It’s time to spotlight & celebrate Tech’s Rising Stars. This is your chance to help us recognize and celebrate the most innovative startups of the year and their impact on the tech industry.

History of Startups of The Year

Now in its 3rd edition, Startups of The Year by HackerNoon is a 100% community-driven voting event recognizing startups that are transforming technology and the world for the better. In our previous editions (SOTY 2021/2022 and SOTY 2023/2024), the community had the option to vote for the best startup based on cities, such as Sydney, London, or Singapore, divided into major regions of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, & South America.

Startups of The Year 2023 concluded with over 623,000 total votes, up from more than 215,000 votes of the inaugural competition in 2021. In the last and most recent edition, HackerNoon and the community at large nominated over 30,000 startups from 4,000+ cities with populations of at least 100,000 people, across six continents. The 1,253 winners received perks from sponsors, such as a free .Tech Domain, a HackerNoon NFT, and an Evergreen Tech Company News Page from HackerNoon.

What’s new with Startups of The Year 2024

This year, the HackerNoon team proudly introduces a brand new way to browse, nominate, and vote for your favorite startups - by INDUSTRIES!

Choose from 100+ different industries and help us decide who stands out. Visit the Startups homepage and pick one of the clouds representing the diverse range of industries, enter a keyword via the search bar, or browse through our 11 different parent categories that umbrella all industries, including:

Of course, you are welcome to nominate and vote for your favorite startups per location just like in previous years. Click on a location via the world map, use the search bar, or browse the 6 regions that encompass all 4000+ cities just like before.

📜 Each city and industry comes with a rich, concise history overview, as well as insights into the startup scene. You can also browse web links for startup news within each city and industry. For example, explore the history of Singaporean startups here and the evolution of AI as an industry here.

❇️ One true vote: while each startup can belong to both a location and up to 3 total industries, the vote you cast for each startup is a universal vote! Therefore, the chances that a startup is discovered and voted for this year are increased 4 fold!
