For years QVC and HSN have been giving entrepreneurs with big dreams, big platforms to expand their brands. Companies like IT Cosmetics, Laura Geller and Vionic all got their start on the shopping networks and now, QVC and HSN is giving a new batch of hopefuls a chance to share their stories.

For the first time, QVC and HSN launched the initiative, The Big Find, in which 70 winners (out of 654 entries!) were chosen to join the QVC/HSN family where they’ll incubate and nurture the brands and entrepreneurs — as well as offer them all a chance to appear in special Big Find TV broadcasts, the first of which start this week.
