.Dogster, Inc. Featured in Forbes Magazine
Grab a copy of the lastest issue of Forbes, go to page 50 and you’ll see a multi-page story about Dogster and other companies making big things happen on very small budgets. (The article can also be found on their site.) The article leads and closes with Dogster and there’s a big picture of Steven, John and I. Author Victoria Murphy Barret did an excellent job, though she implies it’s all me, when really going from popular idea to profitable and growing business was achieved only through the partership with John and Steven. My favorite quote is me saying “I wanted to cover my rent. That was the business plan,” as that was true just 24 short months ago when Dogster got its first advertisers The fact that we’ve grown it into a stand-out business already profiled in Forbes magazine is about as rewarding as it gets. But the future is when the really exciting things will happen!
