33 startups to watch in 2017, according to VC investors

2017 is almost here and it's once again time to predict which startups will take the tech industry by storm.

Who better to ask than the startup experts, the VCs that watch the industry, guide the startups, hear their pitches, and invest in them?

So we reached out to a handful of top VCs and asked them which young or growth-stage startups will boom in 2017.

We asked them to particularly focus on non-enterprise startups - companies that sell directly to consumers rather than businesses. (For the hottest companies in enterprise, check out our list here).

The VCs we spoke to gave us this list that includes everything from video chat apps, to delivery drones, to companies that help you track your spending or invest your money.

Below are the 33 companies that are poised to boom in 2017.
