Meet the Inaugural 50 on Fire Award Winners

The inaugural 50 on Fire Awards, presented by Atlanta Inno in partnership with the Atlanta Business Chronicle, is a celebration of the early-stage businesses, enterprises and innovators who are doing special work to set Atlanta ablaze.

The awards program highlights those that have had a banner year — earning new funding, launching new products, making big hires and innovating to solve problems.

 

Celebrating Atlanta’s most innovative founders, entrepreneurs, organizations and companies

There were 11 categories of competition: B2B Tech and Software; B2C; Creative Content; Crypto/Blockchain; Cybersecurity; Government, Advocacy and Education; Healthcare and Medicine; Fintech; Lifestyle; Marketing, Advertising, and Design; and Nonprofit.

A select panel of judges including representatives of Atlanta Inno, Atlanta Business Chronicle, the investment community, and the economic development community selected one company in each category as the Inno Blazer, the person or company who had the most innovative year, were unveiled at an event on June 6.
