Rules are meant to be broken. The RuleBreaker Awards (a Skild powered event) celebrates entrepreneurs for the things they DON'T do:
- They don’t follow.
- They ignore conventional wisdom.
- They take the path less traveled.
- They do it the hard way.
On July 28th the RuleBreaker Awards honored those entrepreneurs who have succeeded by doing it their way. Some have created whole new industries; others have revolutionized industries that have existed for hundreds of years.
Nominated participants could submit entries in five categories: Service Provider, Technology Provider, Food/Restaurant, Manufacturer or Retailer. Entries were evaluated by expert judges and by the public.
The following winners each received over $6,000 in prizes.
- Anabella Watson – Rent Billow
