A celebration of the past, present and future, Tech Trailblazers @ 10 takes a look back at its alumni’s (winners and runners-up) success since the awards began in July 2012. Its research reveals that Tech Trailblazers winners and runners-up have raised two-thirds of their total funding since winning their respective awards – which is close to a whopping $10 billion in venture capital funding. What’s more, 54 of them have since been acquired by leading enterprises including Cisco, DXC Technology, Google Cloud, Microsoft and VMware – to name but a few.
