Over the past few weeks we read through close to 100 pages worth of written submissions. Each entrepreneur had to answer the following questions:
- How do you plan to grow your business in the next 12 months?
- Why did you start your business?
- Talk us through your biggest milestone so far?
- Please tell us why you believe you should be one of the Top 10 entrepreneurs?
The quality of answers was extremely high and I was blown away by the quality of businesses we could vote for. Ultimately there had to be a winner. The top ten are below:
- Julie Mathers, Founder, Flora & Fauna
- Ben Thompson, Co-founder, Employment Hero
- Tom Amos, Co-founder, Sidekicker

From stories of failure to starting businesses in bedrooms it was a fantastic selection of high quality businesses and founders who have put everything on the line to build and grow their respective businesses.
