After two weeks of online voting, UgoVirtual was among the ten entries chosen to move forward to the next round of the competition.

In order to be considered, TechOvation contestants submitted 90-second videos to showcase their innovative solution for the hospitality market. Three of the semi-finalists advanced as recipients, based on receiving the most YouTube "likes" of the video from the public. Another seven semifinalists were determined based on votes from 25 judges, which consisted of hospitality industry experts.
