Summer Update

Greetings all. It’s been eleven months since the last post. Here’s an update on what’s going on…

Things at Broadwick are going very well. We are up to 2266 clients for our IntelliContact Pro Email Marketing Software product as of tonight and have 15 full-time employees and two part time employees. Back in December we moved in to a 6300 sq. foot office in Durham / Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. New pictures of each member our team can be found at http://www.intellicontact.com/company/.

Here is a photo from last Friday of our full team.

Virante has also grown a lot since last year. Although we are spending most of our time focusing on our two largest clients, we have developed into a full search engine optimization, link building, and web marketing consulting firm. Virante is up to eight full time employees.

Check out http://www.virante.com for more information on our search engine optimization services.

At the moment, I am enjoying being off of school. I finished my junior year at UNC in May. I will likely be taking 3-4 years off to continue building Broadwick and Virante in order to take full advantage of the business opportunities we have.

Right now I plan to return to UNC for a year to finish off my economics undergrad degree around 2009 and then head to either Stanford or Harvard for an MBA.

Long term, my goal remains to make a significant amount of money (current goal is $1B) so that I can fund my own foundation down the road that will work to reduce poverty in developing nations through the promotion of techology, entrepreneurship, health, and ethical government and business leadership.

I am also excited about moving into my first house. It is being finished now and will be ready to move into on July 15. It is in Durham, NC about 5 minutes from my office.

If anyone wants to ask me any questions or just share their story, I encourage you to post on the Zeromillion.com Entrepreneurship Discussion Forums.
