Online entrepreneurs Ryan Stewart and Noel Ruiz are pleased to dismiss convention, as they announce the inception of VouchOn. With a feverish disdain for overhead, these enterprising entrepreneurs decided to make their mark the old-fashioned way... through bootstrapping. Equally as exciting as Stewart and Ruiz's passion for creating success are the origins of VouchOn.com itself, an idea fueled by a thirst for knowledge and discovery.
"My full-time job sends me on the road frequently,"
"I was looking for an enthusiastic recommendation. I wanted someone to say, 'I've been there, experienced it, and it was great. You should experience it too.'"
While VouchOn is not yet officially open to the public, it is taking signups for beta testing. And if you can't wait to be accepted, find someone who already has an account, because they can send you an instant invitation.
