Our four B2B Startup of the Year finalists have clients that range from city halls to NFL teams. But whether their users were analyzing a new city project or the most recent game film, these startups all took pages out of the right playbook, as each saw notable growth this past year.

At our inaugural Silicon Prairie Awards event on Aug. 30, one these four finalists will be crowned B2B Startup of the Year. In anticipation of that celebration, we’re providing overviews of the four contenders for each of our 12 Silicon Prairie Awards. The finalists — 48 in all — are the result of public nominations in July and input from our selection committee earlier this month.

A public vote will help determine the winners of the awards, so cast your ballot for the B2B Startup of the Year below, or visit the awards page to vote on all 12 categories.

Join us for the Silicon Prairie Awards: We have a fun night of community celebration planned for Aug. 30 at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. Tickets still remain for the event, which includes an opening reception, keynote talk by TechStars founder and CEO David Cohen, awards ceremony and a closing party. Purchase your tickets today.

Its coaches roster extended to the NHL and NBA, as well, as Hudl added the Redwings, Senators and Pacers.
