Welcome to the Startup of the Year Awards
Produced by Established, the Startup of the Year Awards program celebrates early-stage entrepreneurs and their teams through pitch coaching, educational opportunities, mentorship, and an awards program, helping propel companies to the next level.
It is one of Established Network's flagship programs and how the Established team invests back in the innovation community, supporting founders and their teams with pitch competitions, investor connections, and our curated Summit. It's one of the most energizing parts of our work: elevating diverse, bold teams and helping them accelerate what's next.
