TROY, NY – MAY 5, 2009 – Style for Grace announced today that it has been recognized as one of the top 200 mom-owned businesses in StartupNation’s 2009 Leading Moms In Business Competition (http://www.startupnation.com/leading-moms-2009). The competition, sponsored by VerticalResponse, recognizes the achievements of mothers across the country who run outstanding businesses.
Style for Grace (www.styleforgrace.com) is an online boutique featuring a customized dress design experience for girls. Moms and daughters can visit the easy-to-use site to design their own creation - choosing the fabric, color, style and size. The designs are sewn by a talented, U.S.A. based seamstress and delivered right to your doorstep. Style for Grace creates the perfect blend of shopping and bonding between mothers and daughters as they spend quality time choosing a custom creation to reflect both of their styles.
"Moms across America were honored in this year’s ranking, showing that they’re capable of starting and running successful businesses while managing to balance family, career, home and self," said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation."Well over 600,000 votes were cast in support of several thousand contestants. What an incredible achievement to be named a winner, and what an inspiration for anyone looking to start their own business.”
"It’s challenging for anyone to start and run a successful business – particularly in this economy. These women are setting the standard for innovation and creativity," said Janine Popick, founder and CEO of VerticalResponse.
StartupNation (www.startupnation.com) launched the first annual Leading Moms in Business Competition in January with the support of VerticalResponse (www.verticalresponse.com) to recognize the achievements of mom entrepreneurs across the US. Winners were selected and ranked according to public votes accumulated from January through March, 2009.
