The beauty of launching a business today is that you need little more than a computer, an Internet connection and a pretty brilliant idea.

Gone are the days of actually needing real estate to get your products sold – and hence, tons of nifty new retailers are cropping up everywhere on the www.

We are honoring those newbies with a new series that’s all about the new kids on the block: who they are, what they’re doing and why it’s interesting.

We have a few lined up, but tell us who you know about too! We value your opinion on who and what to watch so give us a shout and the scoop. Comment here or send an email to kelly.hushin@wbresearch.com.

And stay tuned for the start of the series…
