Startups are hard. Really hard. So to provide a brief respite from your constant grinding away, I thought you’d welcome an opportunity — or two — to get a little recognition for your hard work. And as luck would have it, there are a couple of potential opportunities to do just that. With the 2024 GeekWire Awards and the 40th annual TAO Oregon Tech Awards.
2024 GeekWire Awards nominations
The 2024 GeekWire Awards, taking place May 9th at the Showbox Sodo in Seattle, recognize amazing entrepreneurs, innovators, deal makers and non-profit leaders across more than a dozen categories.
Community nominations may be submitted by GeekWire readers, and self nominations are permitted. Note: The GeekWire Awards recognizes companies, organizations and individuals based in the Pacific Northwest. (Oregon, Washington and British Columbia). Past winners are not eligible in the same category.
One nomination is as good as 20, so no need to flood the ballot box. Thoughtful and well-written nominations receive stronger consideration.
Nominations for this year’s GeekWire Awards close on February 29, 2024. To suggest a company or three, visit 2024 GeekWire Awards Community Nominations.
