Organizers
The Top Voices shifts the role of media in tech — from distribution to belonging. Instead of repeating what’s already circulating on mainstream platforms, we focus on what actually matters to emerging tech leaders — and on the leaders themselves.
We spotlight rising talents, surface meaningful projects from within communities, and create formats like awards and events that give visibility through peer recognition.

ProfileThis award is important for the industry because it addresses a real problem. I’ve seen firsthand how the halo effect impacts hiring, and I’ve even spoken about this issue in Business Insider and Fast Company. Companies often focus on candidates with experience at major tech firms like Google or Facebook, or those with degrees from Ivy League schools. This makes it harder for talented professionals from startups to stand out. Winning this award will help them gain recognition for their work and make their CVs stronger during the hiring process.”
The Tech Impact Award is a recognition that validates the commitment leaders and “builders” in the community make to their immediate users and the tech industry at large. This award serves as an encouragement to everyone building a product or service in the tech industry; a pointer that their hard work and consistency is indeed remarkable.”
