Developer Trailblazers  success – the story so far

The Developer Trailblazers is one of the newest categories in the Tech Trailblazers Awards, having only run in 2018 previously. That year was won by Rimo3, with Platform.sh and Snyk as the runners-up. This year has seen a large percentage increase in the numbers of entrants for the Developers Award.

With only recent alumni in this category, there haven’t been any acquisitions of those firms yet. However, since entering Snyk has raised $420m through  Series B, C, and D funding rounds. This goes to show how any firm that is recognised by our esteemed judges can catch the eye of investors who then help fund the startup’s plans for the future.

Now we’re onto the second round of judging and the voting stage of the Awards. The public vote is now open, vote here now! Voting closes on Thursday 3rd December and the winners will be announced on Tuesday 8th December.
