Once again, The Enterprise Awards look set to be a summer highlight for the UK tech sector. Founded by John O’Connell, executive chairman of the ScaleUp Group, in 2011. The awards have become the benchmark for recognising the visionary leaders shaping the future.
If you want to join the list of illustrious winners, applications are now open, and the deadline for entry is 31st March. It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Why enter?
The Enterprise Awards are unique because they focus on the founder, not their business.
Considering factors like growth, recognition, innovation, financial management, and leadership, the awards identify the sector’s best founders. Previous winners have included Vishal Marria, Founder & CEO of Quantexa, a leading AI-driven data analytics company specialising in decision intelligence and fraud prevention; Alastair Bathgate, Co-founder and former CEO of Blue Prism, an expert in robotic process automation (RPA); and Poppy Gustafsson, Co-founder & former CEO of Darktrace, a cybersecurity firm known for using AI to detect and prevent cyber threats. She is now serving as the UK Minister for Investment. Other winners have gone on to build unicorns, secure major funding, and drive change.
Being an award finalist or winner immediately identifies you as one of the most impactful leaders in UK tech. But, along with the recognition, the awards bring opportunities for growth through heightened visibility, networking with the UK’s top tech minds and investors, and a platform from which you can have global impact.
Any founder of a startup with annual recurring revenue of more than £1 million can enter, and the award categories ensure winners represent the depth of the UK tech scene:
– Emerging Entrepreneur: £1M–£5M ARR
– Developing Entrepreneur: £5M–£25M ARR
– Enterprise Entrepreneur: £25M+ ARR
– Scale-Up Entrepreneur: Growing 50%+ annually (£3M+ ARR)
– Deep Tech Entrepreneur: Advanced tech pioneers (£1M+ ARR)
– Social Enterprise Entrepreneur: Innovators creating impact (£1M+ ARR)
