// The Annual Startup News Startup of the Year Awards have been announced: Bruno Health, Tom Young & Brodie McCulloch were among those honoured…
Last year Startup News ran a quick Startup News Awards at our only event at Freo’s ThinkLab co-working space.
We were back this year, at the newly upgraded ‘Freo Startup Fest‘, held at Little Creatures last Thursday, as part of this year’s West Tech Fest. Co-organisers Rob Nathan and Paula Taylor had put together a fantastic event, which started with a panel discussion with 4 eastern states’ VCs, then an Innovation Bay pitch event followed by Andrew Outhwaite’s ‘For Blue’ report and panel discussion.
As the sun set over the Fremantle harbour, five awards were handed out by our Startup News sponsors: JTSI, Curtin University, BDO, Spacecubed and Wrays.
The winners were:
Most Read Startup News Article: ‘How Incubators Make Money’, by Andrew Outhwaite
Most Listened to Startup West Podcast episode: Dr Jemma Green, Power Ledger
Most Admired Startup Supporter: Brodie McCulloch, Spacecubed
Most Admired Startup Founder: Tom Young, Udrew
Most Admired Startup: Bruno Health
The event finished with the Blockchain Blues Band playing in their usual immutable, unhackable – and loud! – style.

Freo Startup Fest will be back in 2020.
