A Perfect Web Testimonial

“After briefly being involved in the Springboard Program we significantly increased gross revenues through constructive strategy provided by the Connect Northwest team.”
- Brandon Tanner, Co- Founder & CEO, A Perfect Web

Challenge

Started by two Whitworth College students in 1997, A Perfect Web transformed itself into a successful local web application company. The expansion to 10 employees caused a variety of growth and operational challenges.

In order to continue the rapid growth trend, APW realized it required access to new sales channels and outside capital.

Solution

Springboard service providers assisted in the review of business fundamentals that assisted in improving the attraction of outside strategic partners and investors.

Springboard created a free customized program and leveraged its community network to help facilitate meetings with key local entrepreneurs such as Fred Brown, CEO of NextIT, and Greg Green, CEO of One Eighty Networks, to discuss possible strategic partnerships and various financing scenarios.

Results

APW leveraged the key introductions facilitated by the Springboard Program resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship for both the company and service providers.

The founders of APW are extremely content within the new team environment and excited with the new strategic possibilities resulting from the acquisition by NextIT.
