Cringely's List

We are looking for the best and brightest startup companies in America -- preferably outside Silicon Valley, Seattle, Boston, and other technical hotbeds. It's not that we are opposed to those places, just that we want to recognize that technical innovations can come from anywhere.

Here is where you can nominate your favorite startup in any of our six categories. Gather the information needed and anything else you want to include (files, videos, etc.) and just shovel it in.

Come back often to see the companies that have been nominated, to discuss them with other readers, and ultimately to vote on your favorites for me to visit this summer in my RV. The top 24 companies will be featured in a 12-hour reality television series, but only if YOU nominate and vote for them.
