Last year, one of the most significant exits in Portland startup history took place. Jama Software was acquired for $1.2 billion. That exit garnered a lot of coverage around here. But it also drew attention from around the country. And as such, it’s up for the 2025 GeekWire Awards as the “Deal of the Year.” Want to see it win…? Cast your vote.
Now in its 17th year, the GeekWire Awards is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the Seattle tech community, bringing together more than 1,000 geeks to celebrate innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. Past winners have included Auth0, Tableau, Smartsheet, Rover, Remitly, Swype, Redfin, Zulily, The Black Boardroom Initiative, University of Washington computer scientist Ed Lazowska, Technology Access Foundation and many others.
It’s not often that Portland companies are up for an award at the event, so being recognized is an honor in and of itself. But what if Jama won…? Your vote may be the difference. Voting closes on March 23, 2025.
