Meet the Winners of Our Entrepreneur of 2014 Awards These entrepreneurs are the best of the best.

There's a wealth of diversity among the businesspeople who take our awards this year, but they have one common characteristic: They've all built companies that represent significant trends in entrepreneurship today.

Our Entrepreneur of 2014, Dan Price, has seen great success in helping other small-business owners with critical financial functions and loans. Riding the DIY wave, Emerging Entrepreneur winner Maria Seidman is democratizing the process of building mobile apps. And College Entrepreneur Aaron Goldstein has entered the increasingly important wearable-tech fray with a promising solution for a common healthcare need.

These three take our prizes for 2014. From thousands of entries, Entrepreneur editor in chief Amy C. Cosper and vice president of marketing Lisa Murray, along with two representatives of The UPS Store—vice president of marketing Michelle Van Slyke and PR manager Chelsea Lee—narrowed the field to 15 finalists. Then readers voted on their favorites at Entrepreneur.com.
