You’ll find their profiles in the pages that follow. It’s fair to say, they’re a group of phenomenal marketers and business minds, and they’ve got lots of fans with a vested interest in their success. Thousands of mom entrepreneurs entered this first-ever Leading Moms in Business competition here at StartupNation, and over 621,000 votes were cast by supporters.

It’s a shared priority between StartupNation and our sponsor, the leading email marketing provider VerticalResponse, to shine the spotlight on moms who’ve chosen to own a business. We believe strongly in their vital role in our economy, in our communities, and in our families across America.

We hope that this competition has brought excitement and awareness to the contestants one and all, and we applaud you for your efforts and cheer for your success going forward.
