They’ve been toiling for days, fueled by caffeine, adrenaline and acrylic paints. But the Seattle 10 honorees — amazing startup companies who we charged with the task of recreating their business concepts on giant cocktail napkins — have nearly completed their formidable task.

We’ve started to see a few early drawings of the giant cocktail napkins, and so far we’re quite impressed.

This marks the fourth year of the Seattle 10, which highlights groundbreaking innovations emerging from 10 Seattle area startup companies. We’re thrilled to once again partner with the Museum of History & Innovation on this program, which places the giant napkins into their permanent collection and showcases them during our annual GeekWire Gala, and throughout the months of December and January.

For now, we are getting excited to see all of the creations, which will be unveiled at next week’s GeekWire Gala, taking place on Dec. 7th at the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. Tickets are selling fast for the Gala, and we’re expecting to sell out. So make sure to get your tickets here, and join us for this awesome holiday party.

You can see the recap of this year’s class — Auth0, Coding Dojo, Convoy, M3 Biotechnology, Outreach, Pixvana, Poppy, Rover, Usermind and WiBotic — in this post from earlier this month.

You can also check out the artistry — of the very talented muralist Guillaume Wiatr — used to create the Outreach cocktail napkin in this time-lapse video.

 

See everyone on Dec. 7th!
