Why Bizeinstein?
Sunday, October 28th, 2007We started Bizeinstein - Bud Walker and Bob Pindroh - because of the fun and excitement we experience in working with small businesses and entrepreneurs. We believe that small business, both starting and growing one, is the core of our business system, or any business system for that matter.
Both our backgrounds include starting and growing companies (small ones), many years working in the field of business consulting, coaching business owners, working with business incubators and as adjunct college professors teaching business courses.
Two years ago we decided to put our knowledge and experience together and start a new company that would develop an on-line busines incubator. Our goal was to offer the individual or small business owner an opportunity to receive a more personal set of business services and to build a community of people who wanted to gain information and talk with each other about starting and growing businesses. The site would include both a free, general information area of articles and information and a subscription area that would offer professional assistance, on-line networking opportunities, seminars and other types of business services.
That was two years ago and we have had our share of trial and error. Our first “web consultant” designed our site but couldn’t take us any farther much to our consternation. After several conversations between us we took in a techinal partner and eighteen months later, we are on the street again interviewing web consultants to help us finish our membership side. Needless to say we didn’t expect this but fortunately, we’ve been down the startup road before - although this is our first venture together - and we’re not upset, just determined to get going.
So to those of you who are using the internet as your primary business mode or those of you who are using it as a supplement, our compliments. We have a much greater appreciaton of the trails, tribulations and successes you have been through.
So what have we now? Our free side is up and working. It provides a series of articles for both starting and growing a business and it has some other sections as well. We are working on the memberhsip side and will take it live soon.
WhyBizeinstein? Well, partly it’s a labor of love as are most start ups and partly it’s a desire to fulfill a perceived need in the field of business development or incubation. We are an ongoing story and we will tell the next chapter soon.
