Cyrannus Co-Founder and CMO Vanessa Mosbacker Honored as a Best Entrepreneur in Financial Services

“I am honored and grateful to be recognized by the American Business Awards as one of the Best Entrepreneurs in Financial Services for my contributions to Cyrannus, which has secured more than $100 million in funding and inked several significant partnerships in our first year,” said Mosbacker. “As Cyrannus transforms startup funding to be more efficient, transparent and less risky, we look forward to being the go-to platform investors, founders and domain experts rely on for years to come.”

Launched in 2024, Columbus-based Cyrannus has delivered the first SaaS investing platform harnessing AI and the collective intelligence of 1,000+ industry experts to evaluate early-stage startups. Its revolutionary platform gives accredited investors direct access to a robust prediction market for early-stage equities coupled with future liquidity opportunities. The highest-rated startups receive immediate funding from Cyrannus’ $100 million in assets under influence. Other high-scoring startups are syndicated to investors on the platform for funding. Unlike traditional venture capital, Cyrannus offers agile investment strategies for accredited investors, including immediate liquidity via private market swaps.

“Organizations across the United States continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. “The 2025 Stevie winners have helped drive that success through their innovation, persistence and hard work. We congratulate all winners in the 2025 ABAs and look forward to celebrating their achievements during our June 10 gala in New York.”

The American Business Awards are the country’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the United States are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, large and small.
