On Wednesday, October 22, over 600 entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders will gather to celebrate our state’s best and brightest young companies and entrepreneurs. Our Awards program honors the skill and courage that it takes for entrepreneurs to create a business out of an idea.

The deadline for receipt of completed nomination forms is Wednesday, July 15, 2015.
Criteria for companies in the Launch Stage category:

Only for-profit companies are eligible for consideration. Companies in the Launch Stage category may be in the process of setting up, developing and testing the products, processes, or services they intend to market or are currently marketing. Projected revenues for the current calendar year from sales of products or services are in the range of $0-0.5 million and the amount of invested capital in these companies is less than $5 million. [The Judging Committee will consider, on a case by case basis, companies with invested capital of $5 million or greater, but such companies must have a reasonable expectation of achieving revenues greater than $0.5 million within the next two years.]
