“Of the 1,100 startups that applied from across 80 countries, Venuetize was one of only 50 that were selected,” said Jon Romm, CEO of Venuetize. “We were told that our selection was based on the fact that we have a great team, solid industry traction, valuable technology, and massive opportunities in many different market verticals.”
