Cornell Tech Startup Award winner DogStar has been selected as 1 of 12 semi-finalists in Tech.Co‘s New York City Startup of the Year Competition.

In order to discover the world’s best early-stage businesses, we invite our online readers to vote for their favorite by selecting their favorite startups in our regional online polls. Often compared to Silicon Valley – due to its sheer size and access to resources – New York City offers a local tech ecosystem as unique as its melting pot population. While it certainly shows no apparent lacking of fashion tech and finance tech startups, the NYC startup ecosystem also offers some surprises (like the growing movement of food startups slowly transforming the food industry). New York City remains (and will continue to remain) one of the top tech ecosystems for several reasons, and the companies that come from it are no less impressive.

DogStar “created the first emotion tracker for dogs. Worn around the tail, DogStar helps pet parents improve the life of their pup.”
