Bondy World Wins National Award in “SmartTank” Accelerator Competition

Sarasota, FL (July 25, 2022) – Bondy World, an employee gift box company, was recognized as one of America’s top women-owned businesses after being awarded second place in the Smart Tank Accelerator competition at the 2022 Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) National Conference in June this year. Bondy World’s cofounder, Kimberly Martinez, accepted the award after pitching Bondy’s employee gift ideas on stage to a nationally known panel of judges.

The competition, one of many events at the WBENC Conference, was hosted by CAPAX Ventures, an investment subsidiary of Accel Inc., and offered thousands of WBENC female entrepreneurs an opportunity to pitch their consumer-packaged products at the conference held in Atlanta. Prizes included a cash grant, as well as a chance to meet industry investors and access global supply chain partners and marketing professionals. While all participants were invited to submit to the competition, only three were awarded a top prize and opportunity to present their business to not only the judging panel, but all the other attendees as well.

“Recognition at this level is both an honor and an opportunity for Bondy® World,” said Martinez. “It speaks to the value we bring to employers looking to keep remote teams connected in a hybrid world. It also honors the commitment my partner, Lisa Harrington and I have to supporting BCorp, Women-Owned, BIPOC and LBTGIA owned businesses, and other entrepreneurs who support critical social causes and commit to doing “business for good.”
