Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting and judging the e-commerce startup pitch competition at the 2015 Internet Retailer Conference & Expo. It was a close battle between three veteran e-commerce startup entrepreneurs in Chicago: Chris Conn at MightyNest, Sharon Schneider at Moxie Jean and Ross Petersen at Blitsy. But, there could only be one winner of the $1,000 in free consulting from Red Rocket. Congratulations to Ross Peterson and Blitsy!! A nice job by everyone, so be sure to check out each of these great up-and-coming e-commerce companies.
