BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Birmingham businesswoman and owner of ConcertCare LLC Tanveer Patel has been named one of the nation’s top 100 entrepreneurs by Upstart Business Journal.

Called a “serial entrepreneur” by the Birmingham Business Journal, Patel has created and sold several businesses since she moved to the United States from India as a 19 year old.

Being part of the list of 100 puts her in a place of honor among other entrepreneurial giants like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, hip hop artist-turned-businessman Jay-Z, and popular jewelry designer Kendra Scott.

Tanveer Patel’s current venture, ConcertCare is a consulting company that assists medical practices with the technology side of running their businesses.

In addition to being an entrepreneur who has garnered national attention, Patel has been a wife in an arranged marriage for 22 years and is the mother of two boys.

In an interview with Upstart Business Journal, Ms. Patel said she loves Birmingham for its people, community and “Traditional American values.”

Her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?

“One thing is to be fearless. Fearless is about taking risks, taking calculated risks, raising new challenges and also making mistakes and saying what is on your mind without worrying about consequences.”
