Too Long; Didn't Read

Hello there, Hacker, Vision, strength, determination, resilience… these are all key building blocks to moving the world forward. People with these skills create solutions, not only muse about problems.    The Startups campaign celebrates the baby companies created by the thinkers and doers that – regardless of what life tossed at them this year— have taken the situation by the horns and came out of it with a business plan and the balls (etc.) to launch it.    I decided to highlight a few of the startups doing well so far. Below is a mini list of some companies in the running with concepts that I personally find interesting!   Head on over to https://startups.hackernoon.com/ to cast your vote, nominate a startup (maybe even yours), or simply browse the cool things that people are doing in your city.    Startups voting and nominations are still open, so go vote and nominate now! You can vote on as many cities as you like, but you only get one vote per city.
