In front of a standing-room-only crowd, the six finalists pitched their ideas to the judges – ultimately with the startup OssPolice coming out on top with a $100,000 investment from TechSquare Labs.
What began as a small event with 200 applications has quickly grown to accept over 500 applications from 2,200 entrepreneurs. This year’s winner, OssPolice, offers a cloud-based auditing service to automatically detect open-source software (Oss) license violations in mobile apps.
