Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a judge for the 2025 Annual Globee® Awards for Technology. With over 50 technology award submissions crossing my desk, I dove deep into innovative ideas, technical breakthroughs, and pitches from early-stage companies trying to stand out in increasingly crowded markets.
What began as an evaluation process quickly became an education in what separates exceptional technology startups from the rest.
