Inno Madness 2022: And the winner is…

BloomRail, a provider of retail inventory forecasting and management solutions, has emerged victorious in the 2022 edition of Inno Madness — our bracket-style competition of local startups.

The company took 62% of the vote in the final week of the competition, topping discussion group platform Bookclubs, which garnered 38% of the vote. Both startups are based in Richmond.

We appreciate each of the eight companies that participated in this year’s challenge. And we thank you, our readers, for weighing in every step of the way.
