Produced in collaboration with Lesbians Who Tech, the world’s largest LGBTQ technology network, this inaugural list will be the first of its kind.
Fast Company editors and a panel of judges will consider five criteria in compiling this list of leaders, thinkers, and innovators including:

- Their place in the broader business and social conversation
- How cutting-edge, timely, and relevant their contributions are
- Their career trajectory over the past 12 months—and potential for growth
- Their activism and advocacy for the Queer community

Nominations close January 31. The Queer 50 will be announced in March on Fastcompany.com, and honored at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Summit April 24 in San Francisco.
