If there is one thing people yearn is to be recognized by their efforts and accomplishments. We put the Seattle 2.0 Awards this year because we felt there was a need to better recognize the people doing high-tech startups. Seattle Business Monthly is putting together for the second time the “Top 25 Innovators & Entrepreneurs” award.
I attended the event last year at the Space Needle and some great people from the tech industry were awarded, including Andy Liu and David Niu (founders BuddyTV), Vanessa Fox (at Ignition at that time), Rich Barton (Zillow and Glassdoor), Mike Harrington, Darrin Massena and Jonathan Sposato (Picnik), Henry Albrecht (Limeade), Dan McComb and Lara Eve Feltin (Biznik). You can see them all here.
If you know someone that is a great technology or business innovator, or an entrepreneur that deserves to be recognized by his or her accomplishments, go ahead and nominate them by July 20.
The winners will be recognized on an event in October and they will be featured on the November issue of Seattle Business Monthly.
