About Us

Founded in 2011 by entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of ScaleUp Group, John
O’Connell, the Enterprise Awards continue to recognise the founders building the UK’s
most exciting technology businesses and the investment funds that champion and
empower them.

Since then 100+ outstanding founders have been recognised for their journeys and
achievements, and their businesses now generate more than $3bn in annual revenue
and employ over 17,000 people.

Unlike other awards that focus solely on companies, the Enterprise Awards shine a
spotlight on the individuals driving growth and innovation. Previous winners have
achieved prominence on both private and public markets. such as the visionary leaders
of Abound, Wise, Quantexa, Darktrace, and ActiveOps
