TINYpulse beat Convoy, the startup that develops technology to match truck drivers with shippers, 10-9 at Queen Anne Playfield on Aug. 1.
Convoy was 9-0 after the regular season and TINYpulse finished 8-1 among 10 teams. In the playoffs, Convoy beat Sprout Social 18-12 and TINYpulse beat Adobe 14-13 to set up the championship game.
