The Companies To Look Out For At Mobile World Congress 2017

With Mobile World Congress (MWC) coming up on February 27th in Barcelona, we decided to examine the hundreds of exhibitors at the conference and determine which of them are some of the key companies to watch. After scraping the exhibitor page on the event website, we evaluated the companies on the MWC 2017 list using our Mosaic algorithm, CB Insights’ predictive algorithm for measuring the health of companies using financial and nonfinancial signals. We limited our list to companies that have raised less than $30M in funding.
