2018 Year-End Amber Grant Awarded to Wasatch Nectar

Wasatch Nectar

Woman Entrepreneur:
Kristen Moffatt

Our $10,000 year-end Amber Grant finalists are a diverse bunch.

The list includes app creators, educators, musicians and more. They’re scattered all over North America, from Toronto to Houston and from Atlanta to San Francisco.

While we love the variety among these finalists, our multi-week quest to name one recipient has led us to a powerful conclusion: Truly, each finalist is worthy of this grant. Each has undeniable talent and business savvy. Each has encountered adversity — personally and/or in business — only to persevere and thrive.

You’re amazing entrepreneurs and even better people. And we can’t express how fortunate we are to have this opportunity to meet.

So below, we’d love to recognize each finalist for their accomplishment:
