Entrepreneurs Forum of South Jersey Launches the 1st Annual Young Entrepreneur Award of the Delaware Valley

Just like FOX-TVâs âAmerican Idolâ stars who strut their talent, young entrepreneurs in the Delaware Valley now have a venue to showcase their business skills. The first Young Entrepreneur Award of the Delaware Valley will recognize the areaâs most successful young entrepreneur and also the most innovative one.
âIt takes a lot of guts, hard work and commitment to launch a business when youâre young, and in this business climate, you need even more nerve,â says Anthony Mongeluzo, the awardâs creator and president of Medford, N.J.-based Pro Computer Service. âWe’ve created the award to encourage existing young entrepreneurs and to acknowledge that they’re part of a special elite in the business world.â
Eligibility requirements include:
âąÂ Founder(s) must be 35 or younger by Dec. 31, 2009 and have started their business by 30.
âąÂ Founder(s) must own 50 percent or more of the business.
âąÂ Annual Revenue must exceed $100,000 in gross sales for fiscal year ending 2009.
âąÂ Primary business headquarters must be in the Delaware Valley.
Scoring for the award will include a weighted system that considers the percentage of revenue increase during a three-year period, number of jobs created during the same period and the dollar sales amount more than $100,000.
Entrepreneurs not qualifying for the Young Entrepreneur Award still can apply for the Innovative Entrepreneur Award, by a committee consisting of members of the Entrepreneur Forum, event sponsors and the presenter.
The Innovative award will go to a person who has created a prototype of a business product or service but has not raised the capital to implement the concept yet.
There is no fee to apply for either award. Visit YEDV.org for an application; deadline is June 30th 2010.
âEntrepreneurs bring vitality and excitement to the business world, yet their contributions often go unnoticed,â says Mongeluzo, the host of the event, and the recipient of numerous entrepreneurial awards, including recognition as the 88th fastest-growing IT company in the United States. âOur goal is to ensure that the best entrepreneurs receive the recognition they deserve.â
Sponsors of the event include: Archer & Greiner PC, Burlington County Chamber of Commerce, Leib Commercial Collections, KEH Insurance, Perlow Productions, Pilotlight Studios, Pinnacle Building Services, Pro Computer Service, Rowan University, SNJ Business People, TD Bank, WithimSmith+Brown PC.
An awards ceremony announcing the winners will be held Thursday, Sept. 23, at the Merion, Cinnaminson, N.J.
