Small Business Trends, an online publication for small business owners and entrepreneurs, honored 100 companies, thought leaders and technologies as the 2013 Small Business Influencers during an event last Thursday at an Awards Gala at CUNY Graduate Center in New York City.
The Small Business Influencer 2013 Awards honors small business influencers across organizations, companies and individuals who are influential to small business in the United States and Canada through the products, services, knowledge or support they provide to the small business market.
