Smitten startup aims to seize the right growth opportunities

The past 12 months for Pip & Grow, a cause-based, for-profit company that makes and sells a bassinet designed to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, have mostly been about awards.

One is the 2018 Small Business Grand Champion from business support group SCORE Association. Selected from a cohort of 102 small businesses nationwide, Pip & Grow was recognized for its revenue growth (400% year-over-year in wholesale), financing and effectively using social media to share their story. The award included a $15,000 prize from Sam’s Club. Another award, also sponsored by SCORE, is national outstanding retail small business.
