Congratulations to the Winners of the 2012 AWS Start-Up Challenge

We held the Grand Finale of the 2012 AWS Start-Up Challenge at the Dogpatch WineWorks in San Francisco.

Each of the twelve finalists presented their AWS-powered start-up to a capacity crowd and then anxiously awaited word from the judges.

AWS Senior Vice President Andy Jassy announced the winners as follows:

• Big Data and High Performance Computing – Mortar Data (video).
• Business Applications – TraceLink (video).
• Consumer Applications – LogMyCalls (video).
• Gaming – Grand Cru (video).

Congratulations to all of the winners!

As a long-time Start-Up Challenge judge, I would like to offer my thanks to everyone who took the time to enter. I was very impressed with the quality and the diversity of this year’s entrants.
