“The World Cup is a very important way to measure the good players, and the great ones. It is a test of a great player.” Of course, Brazilian legend Pele was referring to soccer, and as geeks, we’re not likely to make it to that Big Game.

This will be an amazing experience for Evercontact, as a rising star in the US market. In the interest of fair play, and to give you a taste of the tech players, we chose to highlight each and every startup, even if we hope that you will still consider voting for us 🙂 Here!
