I’m an avid user/tester of the latest consumer internet and mobile offerings and always analyzing how the same concepts can be used to improve business.
I’m very interested in internet applications focused on adding value to businesses. I also believe the current model for finding and marketing B2B applications and services isn’t efficient and doesn’t add the value it should to either the buyers or sellers of business solutions. My partner, Tony, and I started FYIndOut to address this issue.
If I or my company can help your business in any way, please let me know.
