From space robots to AI storytelling, the latest edition of GeekWire’s startup radar features a diverse mix of early stage tech companies out of Seattle. 

We’re excited to include Anthony Bontrager, managing director at WestRiver Group, who provided his quick assessments — the “VC View” — on each startup.

As well as producing our own predictions for the year ahead, each year Sports Loft turns to the industry's leading investors and venture capitalists and ask for their insights, predictions and expectations for sports, media, and technology in the coming year.
