Meet some of the nominees:

Jose Garcia was mentored in the art of sushi-making by a Japanese immigrant. In 2011, he launched Ebi Sushi in Somerville followed by Sapporo Ramen in Cambridge and Sushi Kappo in Boston.
Ekaterina Morozova trained as an eyelash specialist in Russia before opening Lash Boutique on the Cape in 2014. Within six months, there was demand for a second store, and a third is opening this month.
Christina Qi started a small hedge fund out of a dorm room at the age of 21 with no money or connections. Today, Domeyard in Boston trades $1 billion per day as one of the world's fastest high-frequency trading firms.
Human stem cell platelets are life-saving but by 2019 demand will outstrip supply. Platelet BioGenesis in Cambridge, founded by Dr. Jonathan Thon, aims to create platelets that are cheaper, safer and easily available.
