Citrix Startup Accelerator, the company’s corporate incubator focused on providing seed investments to start-ups from around the world, has named the five finalists of its Startup.Synergy Challenge. These finalists will present the case for their product live to a panel of judges the afternoon of May 9 during the Startup.Synergy track at Citrix Synergy, the conference where mobile workstyles and cloud services meet. An esteemed panel of judges from Citrix and the Silicon Valley venture capital community will select the winner of the $100,000 investment from Citrix, and inclusion in the Startup Accelerator 2012 class.
The finalists chosen to compete include:
Second Investment Successfully Exits Startup Accelerator
In tandem with naming a new entrant into the Startup Accelerator program, Citrix will also announce that Drumbi is the second investment company to successfully exit the Accelerator upon the close of its first A round of funding. This news comes on the heels of Nukona’s successful acquisition by Symantec in April 2012. Since launching the program in 2011, the program has announced investments in eleven innovative companies that are poised to change the face of cloud, mobile and virtualization technologies. The successful migration path forward of both Drumbi and Nukona is testament to the value of the Citrix contribution to leading innovation in the tech industry.
