Concept Presentation

Introduction

Who are we?

Vision

Our vision is to empower entrepreneurs and small businesses by facilitating access to the resources and people necessary for future growth.

We want to create an ecosystem that would empower the ideas of entrepreneurs with currently little access to resources.

Problem

Small businesses and entrepreneurs do not have funds to invest in costly CRM, ERP, and other business critical applications available to larger firms, which slows down their growth/efficiency and may price them out of the market.

Solution

We aim to develop from Open Source codes, a web based application in a social networking ecosystem.Benefit of quality software for little added

start-up cost.Benefit of network of entrepreneurs,

businesses, and investors.

This is the news center, where all the information you want filtered into your radar gets sent.

Like a message board – this is where

any open inquiries are posted and

added to the knowledge base.

This is where exposure happens. Stuff from

StumbledUpon is related to fields of interest, but has a

certain degree of randomness.

Deficiencies in knowledge are identified and eliminated through

use of the Education Center.

Welcome to your DashBoard page!

You also have access to options, preferences, account details, etc.
