The 13th Annual Momentum Awards were unlike any that we’ve ever hosted before and there is no way it could’ve happened without our fantastic attendees and sponsors. Thank you for attending the virtual show, participating in the pre-show experiences, and—most of all—for supporting 1871 and the entire Chicago tech community.

The first Momentum Awards show since the 1871 and Illinois Technology Association merger recognizes seven distinguished individuals and companies for their contributions and commitment to the Chicago technology and innovation community.

Israel Idonije, founder of FBRK Impact House, to be awarded the Chicagoness Award at Momentum 2020 for exemplifying the values of the Chicago entrepreneurial community.

1871 and The Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center to recognize Aon’s contributions to the technology community.

Thank you to our generous attendees and sponsors who helped us make this year’s Momentum Awards an evening to remember, and congratulations again to all of our nominees and awardees.

This year, more than 760 guests gathered at the Radisson Blu Chicago to honor our city’s best and brightest. Their contributions, alongside your continued support, enable us to continue our mission to inspire, equip, and support founders to build great businesses.
