The Fast Company Queer 50, now in its second year, is the only ranking of queer women and non-binary people transforming the world of business, tech, and beyond. Last year’s list featured familiar names including Land O’Lakes’s Beth Ford, artist Janelle Monáe, Reddit’s Jen Wong, and Black Lives Matter’s Alicia Garcia.
The list is produced in collaboration with Lesbians Who Tech & Allies, the world’s largest LGBTQ technology network. This year, Fast Company editors will consider five criteria:
The size and growth prospects of each person’s business or organization
Their place in the broader business and social conversation
The impact of their contributions during the unprecedented events of the last 12 months
Their career trajectory over the past 12 months, and potential for growth
Their activism and advocacy for the Queer community
All nominees must identify as queer women or nonbinary individuals. In order to submit an individual for consideration, please submit your answers below.
Nominations close February 26. The Queer 50 will be announced in June 3 on Fastcompany.com, and honored at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Pride Summit on June 25.
