Helping the blind see. Reinventing mobility with unmanned aerial systems. Bringing cryptocurrency to mainstream financial services firms. These are just a few of the exciting innovations happening in North Texas. In our third annual Innovation Awards program, a collaboration with Dallas Innovates, we honor 78 trailblazers who are shaping the future and improving our world.
Last year, there were 51 finalists. The growth of the program is a reflection of the region’s increasing prominence as an innovation hub. “Because of the wealth of opportunity in this area, we have been able to grow our business how we want and turn our dream into a reality,” says finalist Rob Wilson, CEO of Shavelogic. “As more innovators choose Dallas and surrounding cities for their operations, everyone stands to benefit.”
Winners of the 2022 Innovation Awards will be revealed at a private event on Jan. 12.
Innovation in Marketing
7-Eleven
represented by CMO Marissa Jarratt
Convenience store king 7-Eleven celebrated its 94th birthday in 2021 by sending a Slurpee to space, with fans choosing the flavor through a marketing campaign on the company’s delivery app. It also teamed up with Airbnb to let people book an overnight stay at a 7-Eleven store in Dallas to play PlayStation 5, and launched a Laredo Taco Co. drive-thru at its Park Lane & Abrams Evolution store. “We’ve found that Dallas residents are always willing to try new things, making the region a great place for innovation,” says Marissa Jarratt, 7-Eleven’s CMO. As the world continues to change, Jarratt says authenticity is becoming increasingly important. “Consumers are looking for brands to deliver authentic messages—often in the form of promoting user-generated content developed by actual fans of the brands,” she says. “We’re coming up with creative ways to encourage, foster, and reward our brand loyalists.”

Innovation in manufacturing + consumer goods
“What trends are propelling innovation in your industry?”
- Kevin Boscamp
- Bravis Brown
- Prasad Reddy
- Geoff Walker
“Innovation in the ammunition space is almost nonexistent. The moment I realized the market had not seen substantial change in more than a century, I knew we had the opportunity to make ourselves known and provide the world with a fresh, paradigm-shifting product.” —Kevin Boscamp, True Velocity
“By far, the No. 1 trend right now in the chemicals industry is volatility. And it’s not just one root cause, but many. Between weather disruptions, export restrictions from China, and supply chain issues, we’re seeing the costs for chemicals rise and shortages in the market.” —Bravis Brown, BPS Technology
“More young consumers think a brand’s environmental efforts are extremely important when considering purchasing a product. They are becoming increasingly selective on where they spend, and now seek an environmental return on investment.” —Prasad Reddy, Twisted X
“Parents are looking to get their children to step away from screens and are seeking traditional toys to drive imagination. They’re also looking at the unused potential of their backyards to create safe areas for their kids to get active and maintain some sense of normalcy with their friends.” —Geoff Walker, KidKraft
Innovation in Hospitality
The Sinclair
When commercial real estate developer Farukh Aslam was working on The Sinclair hotel in Fort Worth in 2016, a lighting issue made him rethink traditional systems. “Staring us in the face was a supposedly ‘trusted,’ large-brand solution, and it was using antiquated practices that have never worked properly at our site,” he says. This sparked an infusion of new technologies throughout the hotel, from digital showers and web-enabled bathroom mirrors to energy-conscious power sources. The Sinclair was the first building in the world to replace a diesel generator and back-up power source with a lithium-ion battery pack, increasing energy efficiency and reducing charging time. “The average person is becoming more aware of these issues and demanding to see change happen,” Aslam says.
- Enseo
- Hotel Drover
- Hotel Otto
- NoiseAware
Plano-based Enseo lets hoteliers and guests control in-room devices, view room charges, make maintenance requests, connect to robotic devices, and more. Led by Founder Vanessa Ogle, it consistently ranks as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the United States.
Hoteliers Craig Cavileer and Kayla Wilkie worked with local architects and designers to create Hotel Drover, called the crown jewel of Mule Alley in the Fort Worth Stockyards. “Innovation means reinterpreting the expected and creating unexpected surprises,” Cavileer says.
In 2021, celebrity Chef Tim Love launched Hotel Otto, an eight-room resort made from shipping containers behind his Italian concept, Gemelle. With cheaper build-out costs, he hopes to replicate the concept in other markets soon, creating each hotel in just 12 weeks.
NoiseAware monitors sound levels at short-term rental properties to help landlords prevent neighbor complaints by warning guests of potential fines. “Our customers resolve 90 percent of excessive noise events in under 30 minutes,” says NoiseAware Founder Andrew Schulz.
Innovation in logistics + supply chain

Kevin Stadler, Evolon Technology

Innovation in food and beverage
“What is the best business advice you have received?”
- Eddy Badrina
- Espartaco Borga
- Jeff Carcara
- Rom Krupp
“Your biggest competition is who you were yesterday. We move the ball forward on personal and professional goals when we try to be a better version of ourselves than we were the day before. It’s important to not measure yourself against anyone other than yourself. I call it ‘self-competition.’” —Eddy Badrina, Eden Green Technology
“To enjoy the journey of construction or remodeling, there are three rules to accept and embrace: It won’t cost what you planned, so have extra resources; it won’t be completed on time, so be patient and tolerant; and it won’t look like the original floor plan, so be flexible.” —Espartaco Borga, La Duni Latin Cafe
“The old adage, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day.’” I can be very impatient, but by taking a step back or a deep breath and realizing what the overall outcome is, I can see the path and stick to a plan that will typically yield success. Building a plane in the air is never a great idea.” —Jeff Carcara, Sixty Vines
“My grandmother used to tell me that when you die, you can’t take it with you. So, thinking about money as a tool, not a goal, is a view I formed at a young age. It’s not how much money you make or have in the bank, it’s how you use it to invest in people and your communities.” —Rom Krupp, OneDine
startup innovator of the year
Shavelogic
led by Rob Wilson
Rob Wilson, founder and CEO of razor company Shavelogic, says he set out to ease frustration among shavers that their blades don’t last long enough—a problem that had not been addressed in nearly 50 years. His company developed a solution that uses magnetic attachments and a flexible pivoting system, but it was sued by Gillette in 2015—before it had made a single sale. Wilson navigated Shavelogic through its formal launch in 2020, after filing a countersuit in the Gillette matter and ultimately settling. Now, armed with 150 approved patents, he says the company is focused on partnerships. It made a deal with manufacturing company Jabil last April, and in December, Shavelogic became the official razor of the Dallas Cowboys. “Now that our innovation set has been successfully capitalized, we find ourselves with multiple opportunities to take our technology across the globe,” Wilson says. “This was always the dream, and to have it now come closer to reality is a real thrill.”

His app predicts when employees may forget information and, based on previous interactions with the app, which information they will forget, and prompts them to complete an activity to refresh their memory. Clients include McDonald’s, Anheuser-Busch, and AARP. “The learning industry has exploded with exciting learning technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality for training, AI for retention of knowledge, and social collaboration for peer-to-peer learning,” Schwartz says.

Changing the world can sometimes be a lonely battle.
