Reston, VA (PRWEB) April 13, 2017 -- MindShare, an exclusive organization designed for CEOs of the most promising high tech companies in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, announces the members of its 21st MindShare class.

Launched in 1997, MindShare handpicks CEOs every year from the area’s hottest emerging growth companies to come together in a private, intimate setting. Its mission is to help CEOs build long-term, sustainable companies by creating opportunities for growth, building a sense of community, and fostering teamwork in a collegial environment.

This year MindShare received more than 200 nominations and 59 CEOs will enter the Class of 2017. The entrepreneurial community across the board will be well represented in this class, with companies representing industries ranging from cyber security to e-commerce to wearable tech to mobile solutions to enterprise software.

Candidates for MindShare are typically first-time CEOs for companies under $10M, although the expectation is that they won't be there for long. The class will hear from notable speakers, enjoy old-fashioned networking, and discuss critical topics for building a business at the CEO level. More than 1,000 CEOs have graduated from MindShare, creating a deep and valuable alumni network. The MindShare Alumni Network has grown into a powerful voice for the region’s entrepreneurs, and has plans to become an even stronger force in 2017

The 2017 class kicked off on April 4th with a special event at the Verizon Center hosted by Ted Leonsis and the MindShare Board. The 2017 class members are:
