On May 14, many of Boston’s most active startup investors and fastest rising entrepreneurs will gather at the House of Blues for this year’s New England Venture Capital Association’s NEVY Awards.
(BetaBoston is a media partner for this year’s NEVYs.)
This morning, NEVCA announced the tech and healthcare startups, founders, and investors who have been nominated for this year’s awards in categories such as “Angel of the Year,” “Rising Star Entrepreneur,” and “Deal of the Year,” among others.
A statement from NEVCA said that this year’s nominees were selected by “an Academy of past winners and local industry experts who have their fingertips on the pulse of the region’s biggest deals and breakthroughs.”
C.A. Webb, executive director of the New England Venture Capital Association said in the statement, “It’s a fantastic privilege to be able to bring the region’s brightest innovators and investors together in one room – not just for an awards ceremony, but for a blowout party that celebrates the powerhouse companies being built here in the northeast.”
