Any of you know the Hundred Dollar entrepreneur? Those of you on twitter know her as @hundreddollar, and others know her by her real name (Carolynn Duncan). No matter what you know her by, I’ll have to say that she has been a great addition to the FundingUniverse team.
About 6 months ago, we recruited Carolynn to do some of our Venture Consulting (helping entrepreneurs through the fund raising process). Immediately, she began going above and beyond her role and led efforts to make a complete overhaul of systems, processes, and operations of the Venture Consulting Arm. Since then, we’ve kept her very busy on several other areas of our company (sales, marketing, geographic expansion, curriculum development, etc.).
Currently, she is leading our geographic expansion and has opened up our Northwest region. In a short 9 weeks, she’s developed relationships with angel groups, entrepreneurs, universities, networking organizations, business magazines, and VCs in the region. Let’s just say that the region is on fire right now.
Not only is Carolynn talented, she understands the world of a startup. She completely understands the fundraising process and has a bootstrapper’s mentality. She’s done a great job adding value to FundingUniverse and the clients that she serves. We’re stoked to have her on board!
