CNote was chosen as the 2017 Best Startup Pitch Company after besting ten of the best companies during the first SXSW Super Accelerator Pitch Competition on Monday, March 13.
New this year, winners of the ten categories from this weekend’s ninth annual SXSW Accelerator Pitch Event pitched for a second time to a new set of judges that included Bruce Haymes, Managing Director at Nielsen Ventures; Sara Thomas Deshpande, Partner at Maven Ventures; Stacy Feld, Vice President of Consumer Venture Investments and External Innovation at Johnson & Johnson Innovation; and Werner Vogels, Chief Technology Officer Amazon.
