DEADLINE: Emory Entrepreneur Awards

The Emory Entrepreneur Awards were launched in 2015 to annually recognize outstanding alumni entrepreneurs who are a source of pride and inspiration for the Emory University community. Hosted by the Emory Entrepreneur Network, these awards aim to share stories and lessons from innovators, pioneers, creators, and business leaders in the Emory alumni community.

In 2025, we seek to recognize:

• Alumni business founders representing various industries
• Alumnus/a who has made an impact on entrepreneurs through service as an adviser, board member, or mentor
• Alumnus/a venture capitalist that promotes entrepreneurship and advances innovation through funding
• Student business founder(s)

Awardees will be celebrated at a reception open to the Emory community in April 2025 in Atlanta.
