It’s the business competition we’re all talking about. Launched by Virgin Media Business, Pitch to Rich is a superb opportunity for businesses to pitch their ideas to Sir Richard Branson, for a chance to win a share of more than £1 million in prizes.

Meet some MumsClub members who have donned their brave hats and thrown themselves into the competition of the year.

And remember, they could really do with your votes to help them get to the shortlist. And, should a mum win, it’ll be super inspirational for mums in business nationwide.

Edit!

These are some last minute mum-owned businesses who need votes. Voting closes today so we don’t have time to write them a bio each but please if you have time, help support these fellow mums in business.

If you’re not comfortable voting for those in your category please go ahead and give those in the other category a vote – as we encourage them to do the same for you. Good luck to you all.

 

SLEEPYTOT

sleepytotHelping tired mum’s get more sleep

This tired mum managed to create a solution to her son’s night-time panic of losing his dummy. Sleepytot is now loved by babies and parents and is generally regarded as a life saver as it has proven to help parents enjoy a good night’s sleep. Yes, we all know how that sleep deprivation feels… They have already won awards and have been endorsed by The Millpond International Child Sleep Clinic, they donate to neonatal hospital wards, and have a support area on their website for parents seeking advice. They have great retailers already but they need more awareness to get their name known. Just like so many amazing new products, awareness is the key, so let’s help get her through to the next round!

CHILLIPEEPS

chillipeepsChillipeeps 3in1 Teats & Spouts, making life a little easier

A light-bulb moment led to the invention of the Chillipeeps 3in1 Teats and Spouts when this mum, reaching for a carton of milk in the car, realised she’d forgotten clean baby bottle. The innovative Chillipeeps adapter allows a teat and spout to be attached directly to ready-made formula cartons & bottles and water bottles, so a mum never needs to worry about having clean bottles again. Genius.
