With the Consumer Electronics Show starting next week, we thought it would be useful to determine which of the thousands of exhibitors at the annual extravaganza have the most momentum going into the show.
We scraped the exhibitor page on the event website and created a public list on the CB Insights database that includes funding and performance information for each of the companies we matched. After evaluating the companies on the list with our Mosaic algorithm, which tracks the health of private companies, we determined that these 10 companies below were among the high flyers to go see at the event.
If you want to check the full list out, you should sign up for a free trial here and look for “CES 2016” under company lists or under the “Research” tab in Analytics & Research. You’ll be able to see each companies performance, funding, and investors among other important information.
