TROY – In the heart of a down dirty challenge normally stews opportunity. NETPODS has experienced many challenges over the past two years and now has built a blog site to provide these “lessons-learned” to help other entrepreneurs.
NETPODS is the flagship company that has launched one resource blog CapitalBUG.Com focused on obtaining investment capital and another that will go live in January 2009 (networkpods.com) which targets the business to business networking niche in the US. But blog banter and resources is not all NETPODS has to offer. It, to, is seeking investment funding of $1.5 million dollars to push out a disruptive technology in the content generation industry.
“CapitalBUG(.com) is our way of helping entrepreneurs locate critical resources for their businesses, hopefully to avoid some of the pitfalls NETPODS has experienced,” said Chris Lakatos, founding partner of NETPODS and CapitalBUG. “We’ve had successes and misfortunes, but through it all we’ve found real resources and what businesses should potentially look beyond.”
CapitalBUG.com is a wealth of information on everything from calendar events, incubators, competitions, Venture Investment Firms, Angel Investor programs and business boot camps from all over the United States. Opinion posts and resource articles are soon to follow the initial launch. The site was modeled after the �??Pod’ concept NETPODS introduced to the Metro-Detroit area in 2005.
“A Pod was never quite understood. People were confused by this new term,” Lakatos said. “It is actually simple – relevant information condensed into one space online. You have a topic of interest, NETPODS will hyper-focus all sorts of information into one easy-to-understand channel.”
CapitalBUG.com officially launched December 16, with portions of the site still under construction. Lakatos wanted to push the information to the public in stages since every day there are ample business opportunities brewing throughout the US.
