Each business owner had the opportunity to explain why they believed their small business would make a difference. The businesses included a party rental company, a salad bar, a barber shop for hair loss, and nerdesign med cart LLC, which won the grand prize. The winning business, owned by April Culvert, has patented a product that makes nurses' jobs easier by compartmentalizing Med carts.
