The 2013 Pipeline fellows pose at The Midland theater the day before they would be publicly announced.

At its annual awards event Thursday, Pipeline, the Kansas-based entrepreneurial fellowship program for high-growth entrepreneurs, revealed its new class of fellows. Chosen from what's described as an "extensive selection process," these 13 individuals will work with Pipeline staff, mentors, alumni and one another over the next twelve months to complete the organization's business leadership development program.

We asked if the selection committee puts more focus on the entrepreneur or their startup. Her answer: "the primary focus is on the individual."
