SmartStart Giving to Feature Penny Power Founder of Ecademy on April MicroFundraising Call



On Friday, April 25 entrepreneurs around the world registered with SmartStartGiving.com can dial in to hear social networking power at its best when master internet marketer Alex Mandossian and his partner, SmartStart CEO Linda Lopeke, speak with Penny Power, founder of Ecademy.

A business networking site born in 1998, Ecademy connects over 200,000 people around the world to what they seek whether a job, customer, supplier or direction. It aims to build the world's premier Trusted Business Network. Known as the MySpace for business, Ecademy straddles the gap between tool-based sites such as Skype and social sites such as Facebook and is especially useful for home-based workers and business owners who can otherwise be isolated from the kind of contacts critical to moving business forward.

Power, who is also the author of A Friend in Every City, says "We want members to build their personal brands and develop business opportunities. Ecademy provides an environment where members may speak of their joy and their fears, share their successes and ask for help - all in the comfort of knowing their fellow members want to help guide them into better business practices and assist them in growing their business."

SmartStartGiving.com hosts regular micro-fundraising calls on the final Friday of every month at 8 a.m. Pacific, 11 a.m. Eastern. Each call features a top business or thought leader who has agreed to share their personal insights and experiences with listeners by donating their interview. No fees are charged to register for or join the calls and optional donations are limited to $10, $25 or $40. All funds raised are donated to Kiva.org.
