The AlwaysOn Mobile Power Players list honors the most influential people in the banking, venture capital, legal, and accounting world who support mobile entrepreneurs that are bringing massive technology breakthroughs to the smartphone, tablet, and wireless technology world. These individuals and their firms are the infrastructure workhorses behind the ideas that make the Global Silicon Valley an incubator for success, creating strong mobile companies that are building forward-thinking, indispensable products.

Behind every successful Internet and mobile technology startup is a handful of power players guiding the founders. The Mobile Power Players span a wide range of talents, from seed investors to accountants to venture capitalists to legal counsel. This year’s Mobile Power Players list tops more than 100 players in three categories and highlights a impressive range of talents available for startup entrepreneurs with the right ideas and mindsets to break away from the pack. The AlwaysOn editorial team scoured the Global Silicon Valley to identify this year’s list of people who are behind the startup founders that are creating high-growth businesses and ensuring they will offer huge upside potential for their investors.

Congratulations to this year’s Mobile Power Players winners. As the top venture capital-backed mobile and wireless technology companies continue to bring new, innovative products and services to the world, they’re backed by the people from this list. These powerful individuals are bringing a new generation of innovation to the technology marketplace and the Global Silicon Valley.
