The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program and Spike TV’s Hire A Vet campaign today named Miami technology company Gozump one of eight finalists in the Small Business Tournament of Veteran Champions. The public now has the chance to vote to help identify the most veteran-friendly small business in America. The winning business will receive a custom spot produced by and aired on Spike TV and will attend the Spike TV Guys’ Choice Awards airing June 12 where the winner will be recognized.
A combination of public voting and a panel of judges will narrow it down to four semifinalists and the same format will be used to select a winner. Voting for the Final Four continues through May 16, 2013, and for the champion through May 30, 2013. The public can cast their votes at VetChampsTourney.com.
Hiring Our Heroes launched in March 2011 as a nationwide initiative to help veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment. Gozump, led by a group of Marines, developed a real estate offer engine that helps military families find, finance, offer, insure and close on their new home through one streamlined application.
