Roles may change. Businesses may evolve.

But your Recognition Legacy & Achievement Roadmap—the things you’ve built, led, improved, and inspired—stays with you forever.

It’s your legacy — and it’s still being written.

The Globee® Awards believes that achievements in the workplace and business deserve recognition. Winners are selected through a transparent, public, and data-driven process. The Globee Awards does not work with any agents, consultants, third parties, or individuals who can influence or assist in the winning process. This is why submitting strong and relevant supporting materials is essential.

Your Recognition Legacy & Achievement Roadmap

True achievement isn’t defined by a single milestone—it’s built over time through consistent public recognition of your accomplishments.

Every award you’ve earned is part of your Recognition Legacy—a collection of milestones that reflect what you’ve built, led, improved, and inspired. These past achievements, once publicly recognized, become timeless markers of your excellence and impact. They tell the story of your dedication and success, leaving a legacy that continues to speak for you.

But achievement doesn’t stop there. True success is not defined by a single milestone—it’s built over time. An Achievement Roadmap looks to the future: applying consistently, earning recognition across multiple years, programs, and categories. Each new honor strengthens your legacy, enhances your credibility, and demonstrates sustained excellence to peers, partners, and industries worldwide.

The Globee® Awards provide a trusted platform for professionals, business leaders, teams, and organizations of all sizes to showcase their accomplishments—whether on a local stage or a global one.

Your past recognitions are the foundation. Your roadmap is still being written.

The Globee Awards began as an initiative in 2003 by a group of friends who formed a media research company with a passion for exploring new products, services, and innovations. Their research led to the creation of annual guides, which quickly gained popularity and became must-have resources distributed at expos and conferences. These guides offered a comprehensive look into the latest advancements and breakthroughs, serving as valuable tools for industry professionals.

This led to the launch of awards ceremonies held at these gatherings, along with independent venues that attracted participants from all over the world. These events became a space not just for recognition but also for showcasing local talent, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with inspiration and celebration.

What started as a small endeavor has since grown into a global platform for recognizing excellence.

Can Award-Winning Companies Still Face Challenges, Even Closure?

Globee Awards recognize companies and individuals for their outstanding achievements in specific categories. Each recognition is based on the excellence demonstrated at the time of submission, celebrating their innovation, leadership, or business success. However, like in any business, future success is not guaranteed, and companies or individuals may still face challenges ahead.

The failure rate for startups in the United States remains quite high. Around 90% of startups eventually fail, with about 10% failing in the first year alone. By the fifth year, nearly 50% of startups have shut down. The most common reasons for failure include cash flow problems, lack of market demand, and flawed business models. In particular, 38% of failures occur due to insufficient funding, and 35% are due to a poor product-market fit.

For venture-backed startups, the failure rate is also significant, with 75% not succeeding. This can often be attributed to scaling too early, poor financial management, or competitive pressures. Despite these challenges, successful startups can make up for many failures, especially if they secure the right product-market fit and pivot when necessary.

These statistics reflect the inherent risk of launching a startup, but they also highlight the importance of thorough planning, market validation, and securing adequate funding​.

Business awards are not just ceremonial; they are a science driven by detailed analysis, expert feedback, and the application of advanced tools. The process involves evaluating achievements through a diverse pool of experts from various industries, each offering unique insights and perspectives to ensure fairness and accuracy. These experts review detailed submissions, scrutinizing key metrics such as innovation, growth, and leadership. To enhance the evaluation process, modern software and apps are increasingly used to streamline submissions, score entries, and provide more structured feedback. This combination of human expertise and technological tools ensures that the recognition is well-earned, transparent, and reflective of true business excellence, making it a data-driven process aimed at recognizing the best in the business world. By integrating feedback loops, companies can even use these awards to refine their strategies and continue to evolve based on the insights they receive.
