Introducing the 2017 50 on Fire Winners

September 11, 2017

DC Inno’s 50 on Fire honors the hottest companies, organizations and people from across a number of categories, each one operating within or around the city’s innovation economy.

You might be looking at this list and think “Huh, this is a different timeline than I remember.” And you aren’t wrong. In subsequent years, we would first announce the 150 finalists and then wait until our end-of-year celebration to reveal the 50 winners. This year, we’re not waiting.

Last week, we unveiled our 200+ finalists, showcasing all of the nominations we received this year — plus a handful from our internal team here at DC Inno. As a way of putting more of a spotlight on the D.C. area’s top 50 innovators, we’re announcing the winners today, and we’ll celebrate all of them at our annual 50 on Fire celebration on Nov. 1. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see profiles, stories and more about some of our top innovators to celebrate their accomplishments in 2017.

The competition was red hot this year, and it’s not over yet. At our event in November, we’ll unveil the 10 Inno Blazers, picked by a panel of judges to honor the trailblazers in the District’s innovation scene. The Blazers, like in year’s past, will be introduced via an action-packed video. So, we invite all 50 winners, nominees, and anyone that’s involved, interested or invested in DC innovation and startups to attend. (You can register here).

Got it? Good. Here are your 2017 50 on Fire. Congrats to all.
