HGP – Charlotte Inno’s Fire Awards: Meet the 50 winners of 2021
We’re back with Charlotte Inno’s second annual Fire Awards, a list that honors 50 of the Queen City’s startups, tech firms and organizations that are “on fire.”
From pre-seed-stage startups to multibillion-dollar tech firms, the Fire Awards are a peek at what set these companies ablaze over the last year — things like new funding rounds, product launches and pandemic pivots that not only saved the business, but benefited customers along the way. They’re companies that have expanded, inked major acquisition deals and started the sometimes uncomfortable journey toward equity and inclusion.
The list was complied through a combination of public nominations, expert input and editorial coverage. Some have made the list previously; most have not, and some were featured on the list of Startups to Watch in 2021. It’s not a complete look at every successful startup and organization in the Charlotte region, simply because our city has too many of those to count. Instead, it’s meant to highlight those that have stood out in recent months.
If you want to know more about the companies below, don’t miss our virtual event on Aug. 25, where we’ll talk with a panel of Fire founders and reveal the “blazer” from each category.
