Competition was fierce from the three finalists: e-staffing agency Jobandtalent, consulting project management tool Deployed, and cryptocurrency provider GigEcoin. After each competitor finished a five minute presentation followed by five minutes of Q&A, votes were solicited from both the audience and dragons based on the innovative nature of the business idea, its market potential, and the quality of presentation, and Sirenum was the top choice for both groups.

“We were thrilled to be mentioned alongside industry leaders,” said Pines. “But it really was a blast to get up in front of hundreds of industry leaders and help them understand how Sirenum is changing the paradigm for dynamic workers,”
