Idea Café Announces Winner of Small Business Cash Grant

Posted on 30 January 2010

IdeaCafe.com, a top-rated website for small business, announced the winner for its eighth small-business grant. Moth Attack won the $1,000.00 grant by receiving the most votes from Idea Café regulars. During the final month-long voting round of the grant, Moth Attack emerged as the leader, with 30 % of the votes.

With her impressive enthusiasm and love for building and designing custom steel bicycles and components, Megan Dean, the owner of Moth Attack (http://mothattack.com/), instantly grabbed the hearts of Idea Café.com’ regulars and stood out amongst hundreds of other small business owners.

Megan Dean said winning the grant would help her start a small sponsored cycling team that would be racing on custom bikes built by her. She is currently a very active bike advocate, volunteer and donates to several non-profits that have similar goals and ideals.
She will pass on her business wisdom and entrepreneurial spirit to Idea Café regulars through monthly updates, posted on Idea Café blog (blog.ideacafe.com ).

Moth Attack joins a line-up of inspiring entrepreneurs, who have won an Idea Cafe grant in the past. The previous grant winners, Go Green Go and WOMbeat!, are well known for their insightful reports and useful tips. Another exceptional business owner, Leah Larson, not only won Idea Cafe grant but went on to win the $100,000.00 Wells Fargo’s Someday Stories contest. Yet another Idea Café grant winner, Percy Marchand and his company, Marchand Ink, have been featured in The London Times and New Orleans Magazine. “Winning this grant propelled me into a spiral of success and accolades,” commented Percy in one of his updates for Idea Cafe.

Established by veteran entrepreneur Francie Ward, the Idea Cafe Small Business Grants distinguish small business owners with extraordinary ideas and drive to succeed, who are dedicated to helping their local community and peers.
