Perth tech startups shortlisted in OzAPP Awards

Six Perth-based startups have been shortlisted of the 2014-15 OzAPP Awards, which seek the most innovative tech startup companies from the Asia Pacific region.

The top 20 companies were shortlisted from the 210 startups that entered their idea for a mobile, web or cloud app product, or early-stage concept, with three finalists based outside Australia.

The competition awards the winner with a $US100,000 convertible note from Qualcomm Ventures and access to the company’s global network reach.

Those who have made the top 20 will also be awarded $24,000 worth of hosting, education, mentoring and marketing support from Texas-based cloud computing firm Rackspace, as well as six months of free service on Hootsuite’s social media platforms.

The WA finalists are APE Mobile, ePat For Kids, High Ferritin, Simply Wall St, Tap into Safety, and WiseTime.

Tap into Safety was Business News’ App Business of the Week in September last year.
