Voatz Named 2021 BostInno on Fire Blazer

Voatz is recognized for real world and global impact, becoming the first mobile app to be used in a U.S. presidential election while also powering a referendum in Venezuela 

December 1, 2021, Boston, MA: The 2021 Inno on Fire, BostInno’s annual ranking of 50 startups, people and nonprofits making strides in Greater Boston, has announced Voatz a Blazer in the Software category.

BostInno recognized 50 of the most impressive innovators in the region with their annual awards. From that list, one company or organization from each category is selected by a panel of judges to be a category-winning “Inno Blazer.”

“We want to congratulate this year’s Inno on Fire honoree companies and category-winning Blazers,” said Carolyn Jones, market president and publisher of BostInno. “We also want to thank our staff and the venture investors and entrepreneurs in the community who helped us make this year’s selections.”

Voatz is committed to the future of accessible voting, creating the first of its kind blockchain-based smartphone voting app that is secure, private, auditable, convenient and resilient.

“We are honored to be recognized for our work. We are proud to be part of the Boston community dedicated to innovation and progress,” said Nimit Sawhney, the co-founder and CEO of Voatz. “Innovators from Boston have never shied away from solving big problems, and adoption of secure smartphone voting will result in truly inclusive participation and, with that, higher voter turnout. We are excited for our next chapter where we expect increased interest in the U.S and abroad.”
