America's Best Entrepreneurs 25 and Under

For our fourth annual search for the most promising young entrepreneurs in the U.S., we're hoping to discover more startups with serious potential, and get to know the impressive individuals behind them.

As in previous years, we're looking for young people running their own companies--fully operational companies with revenues. Business plans are important, of course, but we're really out to find business leaders who have taken the proverbial plunge and already put those plans into action. Our goal is to identify businesses that both demonstrate a clear potential for growth and establish the talent of the savvy entrepreneurs behind them. In short, we are looking for the next generation of America's success stories.

What do we need from you? Send us your nominations using the form on this page and tell us why the young entrepreneur you have in mind stands out. Nominees must be 25 or under at the time of nomination.

When the call for nominations ends on July 21, our staff and a few renowned members of the business community will sift through the talent pool and narrow the selection down to 25 finalists. Then we'll have you vote on the finalists who show the most promise, from Sept. 8 to Sept. 22. On Sept. 26, we'll announce the five top vote-getters.
