MyStartUpStory, small business owner, tips to start a new business, advice on starting a new business

Kurt Tomlinson, Founder Open Hardware Hub

Congratulations to the 3rd place winner of the MyStartupStory Contest, Kurt Tomlinson!

Kurt is the founder of Open Hardware Hub, an online forum to post and contribute to open-source hardware projects.  A student at Georgia Tech, Kurt was the youngest entrepreneur to participate in the #MyStartupStory Contest. Yet, this small business owner passed on a simple but profound piece of advice for other entrepreneurs: “Do what you love. Passion drives innovation, and innovation leads to success.”

What has been the biggest startup challenge? Publicity. However, Kurt believes that Google+ should help to solve this problem. Let us know your thoughts in our new social network poll.

Watch Kurt’s winning MyStartUpStory submission for more tech, tips and tricks.
