The social enterprise incubator saw a number of ventures they’ve incubated get named to the list, and the program’s director, Ryan Ross, was named too.

Here’s who we recognized:

All of these winners were in the Social Entrepreneurship category — it is worth mentioning that one judge of that category was the D.C.-based Case Foundation’s Jean Case.
