Team NVSTly Accepts Gold Stevie® Award in New York

On June 10th, 2025, four members of the NVSTly team traveled to New York City to attend the 2025 American Business Awards® ceremony, held at the iconic Marriott Marquis in Times Square. It was an unforgettable night as we accepted the Gold Stevie® Award for Tech Startup of the Year — this time, in person.

Representing NVSTly at the event were:

• Rich, CEO & Founder

• Meow, CTO, Lead Developer, & Co-Founder

• MartyOooit, Investor

• Noob, Market Analyst (not shown in photos)

While we shared the exciting news back in April when the winners were announced, being there in person alongside other winners — including eBay, AT&T, T-Mobile, HP Inc., and Fidelity Investments — made the achievement feel even more surreal. To be honored alongside billion-dollar industry leaders was a proud and humbling moment for our startup and a huge milestone in NVSTly’s journey.

During the event, our team was interviewed about the win. When asked:
“What does winning a Stevie Award mean for your organization?”
“How will winning a Stevie Award help your organization?”

Here’s what we had to say:

A Big Win for Retail Traders

NVSTly was awarded Gold for Tech Startup of the Year in recognition of our work building a powerful, free social investing platform that empowers retail traders with transparency, analytics, and community-driven tools. Unlike traditional finance platforms, NVSTly gives users the ability to:

• Share and track trades in real time

• Follow and receive alerts from top traders

• Compete on global leaderboards

• Access deep stats like win rate, average return, and more

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced trader, NVSTly gives you the insights and tools typically reserved for hedge funds — but in a free, social format built for the modern investor.

Continued Recognition and Momentum

This award adds to a growing list of recognition for NVSTly:

• People’s Choice Winner at the 2024 Benzinga Fintech Awards

• Nominated again for Best Social Investing Product in the 2025 Benzinga Fintech Awards

• Team members JustCoreGames and Lunaster are nominated for Employee of the Year (Information Technology — Social Media) in the 2025 Stevie® Awards for Technology Excellence

We’re beyond proud of what our small but mighty team has accomplished — and we’re just getting started. 🚀

Thanks to the Stevie Awards for an incredible night in New York, and to our community of 50,000+ traders who’ve helped shape NVSTly into what it is today. This win is yours, too.

Stay tuned — more big things are coming.
