Disruptors Awards: LA’s 100 Fastest Growing Companies | 2022 RECAP

Welcome to our annual celebration of companies from that prestigious list that has emerged as genuine “disruptors.” To be a disruptor in 2022 took ingenuity, creativity, game-changing innovation, outside-the-box thinking, maverick leadership, trend-setting practices, and an attitude that blends a constant eye toward the future and a refusal to settle for mediocrity. One of the great things about the Los Angeles region is that we have historically incubated a remarkable number of disruptive companies here. And there are quite a few that are doing trailblazing work right now.

With this special section, we shine the spotlight on such companies in a variety of categories which to honor them. Our Disruptor of the Year Award, Miller Kaplan Innovator Award, Fifth Third Bank Accelerator Award, Social Responsibility Award, and Sustainability Award were all presented to their worthy recipients on December 7th as part of a special event at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in conjunction with our unveiling of the 100 fastest growing companies in the region.

Descriptions of each of the Disruptor Award honorees and the finalists for each category are included in these pages. Thanks again to our Diamond Sponsors, Fifth Third Bank, and Miller Kaplan for their support of this program. Congratulations to all the disruptors, and thanks for the inspiration!
