WALTHAM, Mass. (January 21, 2026) – Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced it has been recognized by Built In as one of the Best Places to Work in 2026. The annual awards honor employers across the U.S. whose benefits and compensation set the standard for today’s workforce.

Now in its eighth year, Built In’s Best Places to Work program celebrates the companies shaping the future of work. In a rapidly evolving AI-first job market, recognition as a Best Place to Work helps employers stand out as trusted brands when candidates turn to tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews to research where to work next.

“Today’s candidates discover the companies they want to work for using AI tools,” said Maria Christopoulos Katris, Founder & CEO of Built In. “Earning a Best Place to Work award not only signals to candidates that you invest in your people, it’s a lever to strengthen how AI search tools understand and represent your company’s story.”

Evolv was honored on the Best Midsize Places to Work in Boston list, marking our sixth consecutive year of recognition from Built In. The awards reflect Built In’s data‑driven approach, evaluating companies based on compensation, benefits, and company‑wide culture programs.

“We’re honored to be recognized by Built In as one of the Best Midsize Places to Work in Boston. This reflects the culture our team builds every day, putting people first, supporting growth and wellbeing, and staying true to our mission.
