SEATTLE - Nov. 20, 2019 - PRLog -- Xemelgo, a Seattle-based startup delivering Industry 4.0 Smart Manufacturing solutions, today announced that it has won the Seattle Angel Conference XVI Competition securing a $185k investment. More than 50 startups based in the Pacific Northwest participated in the two-month competition, which evaluated the companies' strategy, differentiation, customer traction, technologies, financials and go-to-market.

"Over the last year, our team has worked tremendously hard to deliver quality software to our customers and partners that is mobile-first, easy to use and gives real-time insights into manufacturing processes," said Akhila Tadinada, co-founder and CTO, Xemelgo. "Winning the Seattle Angel competition is great validation for our team and we couldn't be more proud. We plan to use the $185k investment to scale our go-to-market efforts and bring Xemelgo software to manufacturers across the country."

It is the first step for both new startups and new Angel Investors who are starting their Angel Investing journey," said John Sechrest, founder, Seattle Angel Conference. "Xemelgo's team, passion and technologies impressed us all and we're excited to be part of the company's journey going forward."
