Introducing the 2013 class of Nantucket Conference Young Entrepreneurs

Thanks to a group of generous underwriters, each year we set aside seats at the Nantucket Conference on Entrepreneurship & Innovation for several first-time entrepreneurs under the age of 30. They get a chance to explain to the rest of the group what they're working on, and solicit advice and guidance over the course of the two-and-a-half day gathering. Their registration fees are covered by underwriters. (We always like to give credit to Brad Feld of Foundry Group for kick-starting the program, now in its third year.)

We had a record number of applicants this year, from which the underwriters and conference organizers chose this set of 10 high-potential young entrepreneurs.

• Christopher Cicchitelli, CastleOS (underwritten by Dyn)
• Michelle Darby, Roomzilla (Boston Seed Capital)
• Ryan Dawidjan, Blank Label (Objective Logistics)
• Charles Denault, Simple Charters (University of New Hampshire)
• Jay Kaplan, Synack (10X Venture Partners)
• Nishon Radhakrishnan, FuneralProposal.com (10X Venture Partners)
• Andrew Richards, TechLok (Dyn)
• Eliot Sun, Kloudless (Dyn)
• Danielle Weinblatt, Take the Interview (Canary Ventures)
• Julia Winn, BetterFit (Data Point Capital)

We're glad to have them as part of the Nantucket Conference community.
