- James and Kathryn Smith (Dallas, Texas), who co-created the patented Giraffe Razor Extension Handle, which offers a solution to people limited in flexibility and mobility by adding 15-inches to 20-inches to a razor handle and an easy pivoting head that rotates for personalization and convenience.
As part of its Project American Dreams, HSN has teamed with award-winning entrepreneur and Dreamers Ventures creator Liliana Gil Valletta and Bob Circosta, “TV’s Billion Dollar Man,” to search for new and exciting products from Latino entrepreneurs to launch on HSN. Project American Dreams is part of HSN’s American Dreams program to cultivate entrepreneurs and introduce new products to market.
The five finalists were selected from nearly 100 applicants for the opportunity to launch their products on HSN and reach a national audience.
U.S. Bank will sponsor the winners for a chance to attend the Stanford Latino Entrepreneur Leaders Program if qualified and take part in an immersive six-week program that provides the education, networks, mentorship and access to capital to grow their business.
