What Do Winners Get?

✅ How to Vote

• Vote for your favorite startup by clicking “Vote” next to the company name.
• Startups can belong to up to 3 industries but only 1 parent category and 1 location. Click the Parent Category & Industry Guide below for more information.
• One True Vote: You can only vote for a company once. If you vote for a company using one filter (e.g., a specific industry), your vote will not count again if in the same session you vote for the same company using a different filter (e.g., another industry, or via location). Once you’ve voted for a company – it will become a universal vote regardless of how you find the company through different filters. The good news? The chances that a startup is discovered and voted for this year is increased 4 fold!
• We weigh votes to elevate the voice of our contributing writers further, reward verified expertise, and prevent spam. HackerNoon published writers’ votes count as 10, authenticated users’ votes count as 3, and unauthenticated visitors have their vote count as 1 (pending spam reviews).

The reasons for this are:

• The contributing writer, by publishing their words and expertise on Hacker Noon, has earned the right to have their voice count the most when it comes to who deserves HackerNoon rewards.
• Authenticated users have much lower spam rate so their vote should count more. We want to continue to ensure that anyone can vote. All users can vote once on each award in voting season.

Your vote could make all the difference—help a startup in your community gain the recognition they deserve! Learn more on how to vote here.

⏰ Don’t Wait—Voting Close On March 31st, 2025!

Make your voice heard and celebrate the innovation driving our world forward.

Good luck,

The HackerNoon Team
