Tonight, we unveiled the winners of 50 on Fire, a collection of companies, CEOs, startups and entrepreneurs that are driving the District’s innovation economy.

From high-powered investors like Revolution to booming restaurant chain &pizza, and from government accelerator Eastern Foundry to game changing health company Sisu Global Health, these winers have been recognized as leaders in their industries.

Before selecting the final 50, we announced the 150 nominees earlier this fall and scheduled a photo shoot with all of the finalists. We then had more than 30 judges select winners in a category of their expertise. At tonight’s event, we revealed the 50 on Fire via a high-octane, 15-minute video, which we will be posting shortly.

In the meantime, we wanted to share the winners with everyone.

Thanks to all who came out – it was an absolute blast – and congrats to the 50 on Fire and to the nominees. Enjoy…
