Twenty entrepreneurs out of nearly 1,500 entrants have advanced to the second stage of Forbes.com’s 0,000 “Boost Your Business” contest, sponsored by HP.
This contest now has open voting, so go to the Forbes.com contest site to see the entrepreneur’s submissions and their self-recorded 30-second “elevator pitch” videos. In fact, even if you don’t really want to vote it is worth going there to watch the pitches. We all can stand to improve our pitch, and watching others give theirs can offer some eye-opening insights.
Voting for the second round runs through the end of September.
Contestants represent an array of industries – from data protection and eco-friendly board games to accessory products and highway safety – and are headquartered around the country.
