The Jolt Judges are recognized as forward-looking thought leaders who provide insight into the latest and most promising industry trends. They define who is ahead of the curve, honoring products that are universally useful; simple, yet rich in functionality; that redefine their product space; or solve a nagging problem that has consistently eluded other products.
