New year, new realLIST.

Last January, we published our second realLIST for the Delaware market (also check out our first all-Newark realLIST).

We’ve watched the 2018 realLIST rankers thrive over the last year:

  • Funding Fuel (#10) won a Black Enterprise pitch competition
  • NERDiT NOW (#8) recently opened a new, bigger location in Stanton
  • TheraV (#5) introduced its product, the ELIX, at the Amputee Coalition of America National Conference
  • GeoSwap (#3) expanded into targeted digital advertising
  • Danio Diary’s (#2) parent, Greenline, Inc., keeps growing, with the recent launch of the Eye Need A Witness app

So, we’re looking out for what’s next. It’s time to forecast the startups that will make headlines in 2019, and we need your input.

Which Delaware companies should have our attention next year? Which founder found a winning idea, or assembled a team that can move mountains? This is your chance to nominate your favorite up-and-comers.

A few guidelines we follow:

  • Founded no earlier than 2015, following Technical.ly’s definition ofstartup
  • Derive most of their revenue from an innovative product
  • Show some track record of success
  • Remain independent, meaning not having been acquired or gone public
  • Headquartered and primarily staffed in Delaware
