The First Coast is chock full of companies and nonprofits developing new products, growing their teams and supporting their communities.
To provide a window into that growth, we’ve singled out six outstanding innovators to honor with the 2023 Fire Awards, presented by First Coast Inno and the Jacksonville Business Journal. The honorees include startups and more established firms, and vary in industry and geography across the First Coast.
These companies are closing new rounds of funding, launching new projects, adding employees, growing their footprints, promoting equity and sustainability and elevating the local startup universe.
And most importantly, they are all on fire.
The First Coast Inno team selected the six winners after conversations from industry experts.
To earn this recognition as an honoree, we looked at startups that have had a banner year: People and companies that brought on new funding, launched products, made hires or offered an innovative approach to solving the most challenging problems. These awards are designed to showcase those who are making the biggest impact on our local ecosystem.
Taken together, these companies are both examples of the area’s growing ecosystem and models for innovative companies that might seek to follow in their footsteps.
Congratulations to all of the honorees:
