Trustev, a company that specialises in fraud prevention, won the Enterprise and Big Data category in the South by Southwest (SXSW) accelerator competition in Austin, Texas.
The competition, which was held during the weekend, saw 48 startups pitch their ideas in categories such as social, health, and entertainment. The festival has developed a reputation for unearthing new tech companies before they made it big, with the likes of Twitter, Uber and Foursquare appearing there during their early days.
Speaking about the win, Trustev CEO Pat Phelan said the team was “over the moon” as the company prepares to open its New York office in a few weeks time.
