Like Y Combinator, Plug and Play Tech Center is a startup accelerator located in the heart of Silicon Valley, although you may not have heard quite as much about Plug and Play as you have its counterpart. Nothwithstanding, the five-year-old business accelerator has built a community of over 280 tech startups, across a number of verticals, including Web 2.0, cloud services, systems, semiconductor and telecomms. Since its inception, the tech center has helped its startups raise over $750 million in venture funding. At the end of each quarter, Plug and Play organizes an EXPO in which a host of startups present their businesses to as many as 100 VCs and investors. Those esteemed judges vote on the top companies, which then presumably go on to fame and fortune -- or at least have a good shot at raising a bit of funding. The latest EXPO in the Plug and Play series took place Thursday, and herein you'll find a brief introduction to the three nifty startups that tallied the most votes and impressed the judges. Definitely worth checking out.
