Rancho Dominguez, CA (PRWEB)- Sew What? Inc. announced today that it is a winner of the first annual SMB 20 Awards hosted by PC Magazine, the leading technology publication in the United States. The Awards honor the most technologically innovative small and medium sized businesses of the year. Sew What?

The SMB 20 Award winners will be profiled in the October 17 issue of PC Magazine (on sale October 3) and online at go.pcmag.com/smb20.

"Small and medium businesses drive today's economy; however, they often don't get the attention and recognition they deserve," says PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Jim Louderback. "PC Magazine is pleased to honor and highlight the hard work, technological leadership and innovative spirit of the SMB 20 winners."
