Businessweek’s best young entrepreneurs of 2011 announced

Businessweek has released their list of the top five best young entrepreneurs of 2011, chosen by readers. It’s a yearly roundup of the most promising small businesses run by young entrepreneurs under the age of 25.

Yes, this list is focused on American entrepreneurs, but who says we can’t show a bit of neighbourly interest and support? At GoForth, we love the passion, adaptability and fresh ideas young entrepreneurs bring to the world. The top five has a great mix of online businesses and those run offline, and cover such offerings as energy-efficient lighting to music brokering to tutoring. Congratulations to all the nominees! Check out the reader’s picks at Businessweek’s website.
