Over 45,000 votes have been cast for 100 startups in 20 award categories. Voting goes through midnight pst, January 10. Don’t forget to vote.

The Herbst Theater has 916 seats, so we have just 450 general admission tickets in the balcony and dress circle to release for the event. Tickets are $40, and $10 from each ticket will be contributed to the American Heart Association (get well soon Om.) The balance of the tickets are reserved for the 100 finalist companies, press and corporate sponsors.
