Earlier today, AlwaysOn announced their third annual AlwaysOn East Top 100 private companies list. According to the announcement, the top 100 companies were chosen for “demonstrating significant market traction and pursuing game-changing technologies in on-demand computing, digital media, and green tech.”

With innovation on the East Coast accelerating rapidly, it was fun to compare Massachusetts vs. New York companies in a head-to-head battle.

The final score was 32 for New York and 29 for Massachusetts, to which we say, “Well, New York, you may have won this battle, but you haven’t won the war!”
