Team And A Dream Brings Affordable Professional Support To Internet Startups

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 08, 2008 – WAYNE, Penn., Jan. 6, 2008 — Team and a Dream, in collaboration with Dartmouth Strategic Advisors, is preparing to launch an affordable support network for Internet entrepreneurs. The offering provides concept and launch stage Internet Startups with much-needed professional guidance in semi-monthly face to face meetings, a cohort of trusted peers and a collaboration platform for problem solving and idea sharing.

The idea grew out of a pilot project to support existing Team and a Dream Internet entrepreneurs. “Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely endeavor. Oftentimes, your family and friends think you are crazy! Having a group of entrepreneurs going through the same challenges, sharing leverage points and co-creating solutions to problems can be extremely productive” says Team and a Dream founder and Internet veteran Skip Shuda.

The pilot group started on October 15, 2007 with three entrepreneurs. Topics ranged from “Creating a Budget” to “Search Engine Optimization” and “Building a Website on a Budget.” Pilot participant Anna Marie Noble of PainBeGone Village™ said, “Participating in Team and a Dream's entrepreneurial circle infused much needed fuel, enthusiasm and creative energy to my company.  Working with their strong advisory team, insightful guest speakers and like-minded internet entrepreneurs provided a productive sounding board for problem-solving and strengthening my business model.”

The program is currently signing up participants for its February, 2008 launch.
