We double the information with two great guests. StartupNation's Rich Sloan fills us in on their new mission to uncover the top 100 home-based businesses. While they don't seem to get the publicity of bigger companies, home-based businesses actually make up more than half of the businesses operating in the country. And StartupNation wants to shine a bright spotlight on them through this new contest to find the greenest, grungiest, yummiest, wackiest, unique small businesses across America. Rich will fill you in on why they've teamed up with Microsoft Office Live Small Business to promote home-based businesses, the details on how you can enter your business into the contest, and what you stand to gain if you make the list!
We also speak with the CEO and Co-founder of Jigsaw, a leading provider of business information and data services. Jim talks about why his company is giving away free company data through their Open Data Initiative, the importance of the providing incentives to the Jigsaw community to provide clean, accurate and complete data, and on slaying the "Data Dinosaurs". Jim also shares with us why he donned a powdered wig and created a YouTube video to announce the Open Data Initiative.
