SPACs. IPOs. M&A.
The past 12 months ushered in a frenzy of deal activity, with mammoth public offerings and blockbuster acquisitions. Today in GeekWire Awards voting, we’re recognizing some of the biggest and most important transactions in the Pacific Northwest technology industry — deals that propelled companies to new heights.
In fact, there were so many deals happening in the past 12 months, we’ve split the Deal of the Year category into two parts: Fundings and Acquisitions/IPOs. A big thanks to Wilson Sonsini for their longtime support of the GeekWire Awards.
Community voting is now underway across 13 GeekWire Awards categories in our 13th annual celebration of Pacific Northwest tech. Community voting, which closes on April 30, will be factored in with feedback from more than 20 judges. On May 20 we will announce the winners live at the virtual GeekWire Awards, presented by Wave Business.
