The 13th Annual NEVY Awards

NEVYs the 13th

December 11, 2025

For the 13th year, the annual NEVYs Awards return, and this time, it’s a horror show you won’t want to miss.

80+ fearless founders, investors, and companies will be “cast” as this year’s nominees. They’ve braved the jump scares of market shifts, funding droughts, and sleepless nights. But only 20 will survive the final cut.

Gather your crew, grab your popcorn, and get ready for NEVYs the 13th: where New England’s boldest innovators step into the spotlight of our abandoned drive-in theater… and only the fiercest walk away with the trophy.
