No strings, no submission fee attached, Startup Boston's Community Awards is a grassroots movement to celebrate the New England startup community. And in true Startup Boston fashion, nominations and voting will be done by our local startup community.
How Does This Work?
All nominations come from you - the New England startup community. This is your opportunity to recognize the hard work of your peers and colleagues, the folks you respect in the startup community. Nominations will be open for two weeks.
When nominations close, our judges will select the top three in each category. These three nominees will then be shared with the public (you!) and will be voted upon.
You are able to vote once per day for two weeks. Winners will be announced on Startup Boston's LinkedIn Page (follow us!).
