About the EDDIE Awards
Disabled founders are routinely underestimated, not because they lack vision, but because the systems that claim to support innovation rarely include them. The EDDIE Awards puts their work on a public stage and opens doors to capital, networks, and visibility.
The EDDIE Awards are the first national awards celebrating entrepreneurs with disabilities.
Launched in 2023, EDDIE stands for Entrepreneurs Dedicated to Diverse & Inclusive Excellence: founders who are transforming business and breaking barriers.
The EDDIEs bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders for a prestigious black-tie celebration of innovation, inclusion, and impact. A movement changing the face of entrepreneurship, one founder at a time.
