Tech Startup Update
I’ll have more detail on these three companies in the weeks to come but I thought I would give them all a quick shout out.
Pronetos - Pronetos is a home to communities and scholars of every academic discipline: a global think-tank of the leaders in your field. They have come out of closed beta and are ready to take the academic world by storm.
iQuestions - Safe and trusted video answers. They have also shed their beta label. iQuestions provides video answers from recognized experts on such topics as marriage, parenting, intimacy, money, career and faith. From what I understand they have raised around 4 million dollars in funding.
Balihoo - Advertisings best friend. Balihoo is a search engine for advertising media. I believe that Balihoo is still in a closed beta but from what I hear that hasn’t stopped them from continuing to raise money.
I hope to do full profiles on these companies in the coming weeks but until then check out their sites.
Thanks for the shout-out, Tac. We’re experiencing a heavy response rate to our direct marketing campaign. About 30% of users contacted sign-up. Pronetos achieves for the academic world, something it has wanted for almost two decades, so we went out of the gate pretty confident! Stay tuned, and thanks for the supprt, TechBoise!
Tac - Thanks for the support, and it was great to see you at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. You continue to be one of the front-liners here in Boise. Keep it up!
