It's a small milestone but we're excited BOSI hit 1,000 users within 30 days of releasing our beta (and yes, we booked revenue our first day in business). Now this Built In Chicago company can navigate into the deeper waters and look to have a massive impact on the world of entrepreneurship. Our 2011 roadmap shows us touching almost 100,000 entrepreneurs before the year is out.
For those of you who are early risers (or dvr fanatics), we'll be featured on First Business on WCIU in Chicago (and nationwide) on Monday morning.
Partner with us
Any Built In Chicago companies that target entrepreneurs should contact us so we can talk about joint venturing together. We're already being called the LinkedIn for Entrepreneurs - and one of our match algorithms is designed to connect our users with service providers and solutions best suited for them. We hope to be a great source of new business for our b-2-b friends on BIC.
We're also interested in partnering with content matter experts who have breakthrough insight to share with business owners. Although we're in discussion with big name gurus from around the world to deliver content, we want to feature as many Chicago-based experts as possible.
Finally, we're going to be highlighting great entrepreneurial stories (in bite sized video clips) to our users as an ongoing feature. Once we kick off that series, we'll be pretty hungry for new stories. We plan to use Built In Chicago as a conduit of great stories so make sure to keep Maria updated on any great things happening in your business and life. We'll ask her to nominate CEOs for us to interview/highlight. Again, the more stories we can get out of Chicago, the better!
