  • First, I want to thank VentureBeat for helping to put this together. It means a lot to us at http://www.20dc.com and probably to a lot of these other startups. If anyone would like to put in a nomination for us, we would definitely enjoy having on in the "Bootstrapped" category as well as the "Likely to make the world better" category.

    Thanks again VentureBeat Web!
  • It’s a little ahead of my business plan, but after a couple of days and nights of contemplation I decided that entrepreneurship and innovation is all about calculated risk and timing. I’m all in. www.gzyn.com

    For folks that simply want to focus on writing good stuff and make some money while at it, GZYN is the place to be. Everything else is taken care of by the system. Take a peek.

    Thanks for putting this together.
  • Finally, a great alternative to the ridiculously low store credit your local video store offers for your used video games.

    Please check http://www.MyZwap.com .

    I think you will agree its worthy of a "Best Business Model" Nomination. Myzwap's algorithm allows for fast fair trades.

    Please Nominate http://www.MyZwap.com "Best Business Model"
  • Nice option for video game consumers.

    Please nominate www.myzwap.com

    Thanks for the Crunchies!
