About The Annual NEVY Awards

The NEVYs are Boston’s premier celebration of the venture ecosystem, and the only one truly uniting the Tech and Life Science communities. An “anti-awards show,” they spurn white tablecloths and boring speeches, instead embracing the vibe of
Boston’s innovation economy: fast-paced, eccentric, colorful, and unapologetic.

 

Attended by over thousands of the region’s top innovators, investors, and companies across 11 years, the NEVYs are a singular celebration of the region’s biggest wins and brightest stars. Driven by cutting edge production and always set in theme — from Hair Metal to Solid Gold; ‘Gone Country’ to Mardi Gras — they are a uniquely vibrant phenomenon in a sea of cookie-cutter alternatives.

 

The Annual NEVY Awards are produced by the New England Venture Capital Association (NEVCA), working on behalf of New England’s VC industry to foster a collaborative, inclusive, & prosperous innovation ecosystem.
