Enter today for your chance to win a $5,000 Grand Prize & be the next BIG thing in local family-friendly business!

In 2010, with a $5000 budget, Jamie Ratner launched a website dedicated to finding and offering great family activities, items, and services to her community. Almost three years later, CertifiKID, LLC has become the leading Mid-Atlantic family-oriented website and a go-to resource for over 100,000 families.

Now it’s time to find the next up and coming local family-friendly business of course! (drum roll please)…Introducing, CertifiKID’s Project Pup Bowl.

CertifiKID’s Project Pup Bowl is looking for the next breakthrough business, entrepreneur, innovator or inventor in the Washington DC and Baltimore area. CertifiKID’s Pup Bowl, made up of local experts in the child and family friendly business categories, will take applications from hundreds of local established businesses and give one lucky winner a kick-start to success with a $5,000 -or more- Grand Prize to use toward their business, mentoring sessions, plus direct access to 100,000 local parents.

Here’s how it will work:
CertifiKID’s Project Pup Bowl, will be accepting applications NOW for the initial review. The Pup Bowl, made up of experts in the child and family-friendly business categories, will review all the applications and pick the 10 Top businesses and entrepreneurs! Those 10 businesses will also be announced in a CertifiKID email blast, exposing them to CertifiKID’s subscribers as a new, local entrepreneurial idea! Then each business will have a chance to present their business to the Pup Bowl at this special event on April 22nd, 2013 at Imagination Stage.  During that session, each business will also get a priceless consultation opportunity with the Pup Bowl during which they will receive advice, critiques, comments and ideas. 

Finally, The Pup Bowl will choose the business they think has the most potential for growth and success and best business plan, product or service, and goal, justifying the award of CertifiKID's $5000 grand prize.  The Winner will become CertifiKid’s featured business, receiving publicity on the website, instant exposure to 100,000 local parents, financial and advisory support by a leading area business and its recognized CEO, and most importantly the BEST chance to thrive in the market!

So, let’s get this party started! If you are a new business in the Metro D.C. or Baltimore areas in need of financial assistance to jump-start your venture, start your website, secure the perfect store front, advertise your innovative concept, or just cover all of those little costs that keep piling up before you can even get yourself more than a foot off the ground, apply to CertifiKID’s Project Pup Bowl now!
