It was announced today that Commerce360 and our ClickEquations Search Automation Software has been selected as one of seven finalists in the Amazon Web Services Startup Challenge.

According to Amazon: “Amazon Web Services (AWS) is searching for the next hot start-up that is leveraging AWS to build its infrastructure and business. The grand prize is $100,000 in cash and services, and a seed investment offer from Amazon.” Finalists were selected “based on their entry form and using the following judging criteria: (a) implementation and integration of the AWS Paid Services; (b) originality and creativity; (c) likelihood of long-term success and scalability; and (d) effectiveness in addressing a need in the marketplace.”

Commerce360 was selected from among over 1000 applicants as one of the finalists. We’re looking forward to the final judging and award presentation in Seattle on December 5th.

Congratulations to Bruce Ernst our VP Products and Toby DiPasquale our Sr Director of Technology and Chief Architect, as well as their teams and everyone at Commerce360.
