Dreamit Ends, and What's Next
Each member of our management team has grown personally and collectively this summer. The DreamIT Ventures program provided the perfect greenhouse for TapInko. The summer began with a concept, some pretty webpage mockups, a young management team, and a lot of questions. We rush into the fall with a strong development team, a product inches away from a full beta test, a motivated and unified management team, an experienced cadre of advisors and strategists on board, five enthusiastic beta schools, and dozens of student papers waiting in the wings for TapInko's full version 1.0 release. Wow.
Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves by making plans for 4 or 5 years out, but these projections comprise the vision we seek to fulfill. Our pockets full of business cards after DreamIT Funding Day, the next few weeks will find us in the offices of various angel investors and venture capitalists.
Peter is doing a great job leading the funding charge, Nick and Jonathan Newell, our lead developer, are doing a brilliant job with the product, and I'm spending my time developing relationships with our beta publications while also reaching out to advertisers in a buyer beta.
Today, we are saying goodbye to CJ, our research and marketing intern, who has been extremely helpful researching industry news, calling potential clients, and analyzing publication rate information. We wish him luck in his senior year at LaSalle University in Philly.
