After a grueling day on the Start-up Dock stage on Tuesday, the votes were tallied and this morning competition emcee, Thomas Crampton, took to the main stage with some of the judges to talk about the day's events and announce the winners.
The competition was close with mere fractions of a point separating the top companies. With the close nature of the votes, LeWeb3 decided to acknowledge two additional companies beyond the main three winners.
The companies selected as winners for this year's start-up competition are:
1st place - Goojet
2nd place - PLYMedia
3rd place - G.ho.st
The honorable mention companies are: erepublik and Splitgames.
In addition to the main competition, there was a special jury prize awarded by competition sponsor, TF1. The winner of this prize, Holistis, will be granted a consulting session with senior leaders from TF1's Internet and Innovation team to help provide guidance on messaging and presentation skills.
Thanks to all of the judges who took time from their crazy schedules to help with this year's competition. And special thanks to the fantastic Thomas Crampton for making sure that the day's proceedings went off without a hitch!
