Questions
Who can be nominated?
Anyone from Perfect Strangers, Tower, Grishin Robotics or Founders UK. Founders, operators, product people, people building big things inside big companies.
Can I nominate myself?
Yes, please. Unicorns don’t wait to be discovered.
Can I nominate in more than one category?
Yes. Send one nomination per category, as many as you like.
How are the winners chosen?
Nominations make the longlist. The jury picks the finalists in each category, then the communities vote. Founder of the Year is the jury’s own pick, with no public vote.
Who is on the jury?
People from the four communities. We’ll share the names soon.
Do I need a ticket to be nominated?
No. But the winners are announced on stage at the Ball, so you’ll want to be there.
Will the nominee know I nominated them?
We only get in touch with people who make the shortlist. Who nominated them stays with us.
Nominations close 30 November
