Top 4 Tech Startups for 2014

Technology is an important field in today’s society and one of the biggest events that honors it is the International CES (Consumer Electronics Show), which showcases all the newest and coolest gadgets in town. But apart from tablets, smartphones, or other high-tech devices, CES is also home to Eureka Park, an area where tech startups gather round and share their services and products. Based on the startups that attended this year’s edition of CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, we would like to present you with a list we have compiled of the top 4 tech startups for 2014. Curious to learn more about the new kids in town? Let’s take a look at the countdown.

No. 4: LifeLogger

Humans have an innate need to share and broadcast glimpses and moments of their life. Well, with the help of LifeLogger you no longer have to rely on text and photos, you can actually video log your life on the go. This up-and-coming tech startup recently launched a device, which is basically a small camera on a headband that shoots videos as you walk around and uploads it onto its cloud service. But this device is not your standard camera. It can actually identify places and people around you, so that you can better track your events.

No. 3: Mojio

Cars are a rather valuable asset and all drivers like to know that their prized possessions are safe and sound. Well, Mojio is planning on launching an app that will help you track everything you need to know about your car. The technology they plan unveiling in February 2014 is basically a device that can be plugged into a car’s diagnostic port. The device syncs with the cloud and transmits updated data such as the car’s location, speed, and fuel level. It can even let you know if someone’s trying to break into your car. The first version of the device will be launched in beta and will be compatible with model cars manufactured after 1996.

No. 2: Bounce Imaging Inc.

This Boston-based startup, founded by MIT students David Young and Francisco Aguillar, develops low-cost technology meant to improve the work of first responders. More specifically, Bounce Imaging designs throwable cameras and sensors that can also detect radiation or carbon monoxide. In this way, first responders are able to learn firsthand what is in a particular room before having to enter it. The baseball-sized devices transmit data over Wi-Fi and compiles images together so that first responders can get a clear picture of what lies ahead. If that’s not cool, we don’t know what is.

No. 1: ClearView Audio

If you have a thing for music and flawless surround sound, but aren’t exactly a fan of the big black boxes that come with most audio systems, you might want to check out ClearView Audio. This tech startup recently unveiled its new speaker system – The Clio. Their audio system uses stereo speakers and a tiny, two-inch subwoofer to dispense sound in all directions. The neatest thing about this award-winning technology? The device actually becomes invisible to the naked eye. No more clutter and unappealing stereo speakers – just pure and simple music.
