The special Startups of The Year 2024 Winners Interview series is a celebration of all this year’s Tech Champions.


DENVER, CO (April 24, 2025) – Ambassador, the API innovation company, was pleased to be recognized by Hackernoon’s 2024 Startups of the Year for Denver, Colorado.

With over 30,500 startups participating and 560 cities represented, Ambassador received the most votes for the Denver, Colorado region, and is one of 164 startups that won a regional award from the 949,900 votes gathered.

“We’re honored to receive this prestigious recognition—it’s a meaningful validation of the strong connection we’ve built with our developer community over the years,” says Steve Rodda, CEO of Ambassador. “We’re especially excited about the momentum behind our latest product, Blackbird, and the role it’s playing in shaping the future of API and MCP server development in this new era of AI.”

Ambassador makes tools that enable the complex integration work that currently delays AI adoption to fuel growth for today’s enterprises. The company’s flagship product, Blackbird, API Development Platform, builds on the success of previous innovations Edge Stack API Gateway and Telepresence to address a critical technology gap between their existing business systems and modern AI capabilities.

“Once called the ‘backbone of modern applications,’ APIs are not ready for the age of AI. There is a critical business gap between today’s business systems strung together by a sprawl of APIs and a company’s ability to truly leverage AI. We’re hoping to address that challenge with Blackbird,” shares Rodda.

This recognition for the company joins a lineup of various other recognitions Ambassador has received in the past years, including: a Gartner API Management 2024 Honorable Mention, Best in Coding and Design Tools at API World 2024, 2024 Intellyx Digital Innovator, and Best Microservice API for Edge Stack API Gateway in 2023.

Startups of the Year 2024 is HackerNoon’s flagship community-driven event celebrating startups, technology, and the spirit of innovation. Currently in its third iteration, the prestigious Internet award recognizes and celebrates tech startups of all shapes and sizes.

This year, over 150,000 entities across 4,200+ cities, six continents, and 100+ industries participated in a bid to be crowned the best startup of the year. Millions of votes have been cast over the past few years, and many stories have been written about these daring and rising startups. This current award season ran from September 30th, 2024, through April 2025.
