Awards

We believe that grit, persistence, and hustle are correlated with long-term entrepreneurial success. We want to help promote that in the entrepreneurial community and have been fortunate in that we have been able to give out many Hustle Awards, and other awards, to CEOs and student entrepreneurs.
