Vote for Mariam!

By: Natasha | Posted on July 15, 2010 | 14 Comments

Our founder and CEO Mariam Naficy has spent literally countless hours voting on each and every design ever submitted to Minted and now it’s our turn to vote for her!

She has just been nominated for the 2010 Women’s Initiative Women Entrepreneur of the Year award. We’re not really surprised because we know how fabulous she is and how incredibly hard she has worked to create Minted. It only takes a quick second (literally one click) to vote and it matters a lot because the judges are looking to gauge how engaged of a community the entrepreneur has helped create and I think everyone would agree that we have the most engaged community there is! Speaking of our community, we have so appreciated the excitement around the holiday challenge and have also been so encouraged by how genuinely nice everyone in our community is—all of the comments left on the countdown have been so positive and upbeat–so a big thank you to everyone for that as well.

    Congrats Mariam, I will have my fingers crossed, although I am confident that not even an ounce of luck is needed here! What a fabulous nomination, It’s so exciting to see news like this as I am so thankful for your “endeavors” – they’re the direct reason for any success and development I have had in the stationery business. Congrats to you!

    I have to second Andrea’s sentiments on Minted and it’s affects on my business as well. I hope you know what a great impact you’ve made and the community built around it is second to none. Cheers!

    I know I know… effects, not affects. Argh!
