How the winners reacted to their #Startups100 ranking

This year’s Startups 100 was incredible. Not only was it a record breaking collection of start-ups since the list was first published in 2008 but the website broke its record number of views (to the delight of our marketing team).

One of the most rewarding aspects of the awards however was watching the @startupstowers’ twitter feed, with tweeters – those on the list and other commentators – recognising the calibre of businesses mentioned, expressing their delight; and offering congratulations and hugs (virtually speaking) for those who made the list.

Take a look at our list for instant ‘feel good vibes’.
