Wanted: The top young founders and leaders in Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee or Washington, D.C.
More than a decade after Forbes launched the 30 Under 30 franchise, we debuted our inaugural 30 Under 30 Local list in 2023 to highlight 300 changemakers in 10 local communities. This year, we’ve selected 10 new innovation hubs to spotlight on our 2024 30 Under 30 Local list: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.
Do you know someone in those locations reinventing the worlds of tech, business, art & culture, food, retail, entertainment and impact? Nominate them (or yourself!) today.
