The A-LIST Awards is an annual awards ceremony that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of entrepreneurs in the Greater Austin region. The event is typically attended by local business leaders, entrepreneurs, and members of the Austin tech community.
In partnership with SXSW, the A-LIST Awards is the annual celebration of entrepreneurship in the Austin area. Austin is known for its growing global startup and scaleup hub, a title we couldn't claim without innovating entrepreneurs and investors in our city.
This is the 12th year that we'll celebrate exciting companies that are developing new ways to connect with customers. A-LIST companies are finding unique approaches to grow their businesses and transform their industries, while creating a robust culture for their employees.
Are you a privately-owned, innovative, scalable company or an active investor in the Austin area? Then A-LIST is right for you. Complete your application today!
