CreatorCon Challenge - 2018 Short List Announcement

[Martin Barclay]

I'm honored to announce the nine enterprise SaaS product startups that have been selected to the short list for this year's CreatorCon Challenge. These developer-entrepreneurs are in the vanguard of native application development on the Now Platform and were selected by a voting panel of senior ServiceNow Ventures, Now Platform, and ISV/Technology Alliances executives.

From well over 300 individual entries, 50 warranted closer scrutiny for full eligibility, and 20 made it through as fully eligible to short list consideration. It was an in depth, hands-on one month evaluation process to get from the entry deadline to the shortlist. The eligibility requirements are strict - setting a high bar in terms of entity, app, and entry materials characteristics and quality. The work put in by not only the shortlist but all 20 who met the full eligibility requirements is immense, notwithstanding that they have businesses to run as their day job - and all deserve our appreciation and kudos. 

The short list is part of the ServiceNow developer community - they're one of you.

Your CreatorCon Challenge 2018 shortlist is (in alphabetical order):

• Accelerate ITS - Expense Management
• Black Hills Software - Automated Stockroom
• Enable Labs - Toolbox
• Fairchild Resiliency - MaestroRS
• Keralia Tech - Lab Management Portal
• KidsVacay - KidsVacay
• Recruitlive - EmployeeX
• SalesWon - CRM & CPQ

There will be an official short list announcement from ServiceNow with more information on the Service Matters Blog in the next few days. 

Over the next two weeks, the voting panel will interview the short list to determine the three finalists. The finalists will be announced on April 12th. 

Thank you and congratulations!
