Announcing the San Francisco Business Times 40 Under 40 class of 2024

Every year the Business Times has the honor of recognizing the brightest young leaders in the business community in our 40 Under 40 awards.

This year our stable of young leaders — selected from nearly 300 nominations and our own research — features brewers, bankers, founders, funders, scientists, entrepreneurs and many more. They come from all corners of the local economy and from across the Bay Area.

"The energy and achievement of this group of leaders is truly inspiring," said San Francisco Business Times Editor-in-Chief Jim Gardner. "A lot of people are questioning the Bay Area's continued place as the global hub of innovation. This group shows that the crown still fits.”

We will profile the full 40 Under 40 class of 2024 in a special edition of the paper and celebrate them at a gala evening April 25 in San Francisco.
