Seeking motivated teammates to join the development of an innovative not-for-profit venture in the Internet Communication industry. I’m an undergraduate Business Honors Program student with an Entrepreneurship focus, excited to enter this Social Business enterprise in the 2009 Business Plan Competition. NovoMail is a nonprofit e-mail service providing users with many innovative features, including imbedded Web navigation technology, an improved user-friendly interface, custom design (“MyNovo”), live chat capabilities, increased online storage, and many other improvements on current e-mail service providers. While NovoMail will be a free service to users, the profits earned from advertisements on our site will be channeled to nonprofit organizations dedicated to social causes like poverty alleviation, environmental protection, and global healthcare. A user-based voting system will organize and delegate funds to our NGO partners. I am currently writing the business plan and designing a Website for this project. I’m looking to form an energetic and creative team of business, computer science, and students from other areas of study. Must be dedicated and reliable, with a passion for business, philanthropy, and the growth of this high-potential social business.
