WebVisible's Kirsten Mangers
WebVisible, is it a double entendre, a play on words? Co-founder Kirsten Mangers suggests it could be called WebInVisible, because of the subtle behind the scenes work they do for others. It's a story of a not-so-small startup, she closed her B-round in March and just hired employee #89. That's a lot of growth! What's changed? Plenty, but especially Kirsten. She doesn't behave like a founder anymore; she's grown into the role of CEO, working towards a potential exit.
So what is WebVisible? If you're an investor you've seen lots of business plans to bring the web to local businesses, like the plumber, the pizza parlor and the carpet cleaner. For myself personally, I've lost more money on these schemes than anything else. So who is making the web work for local business? WebVisible.
Who's on the board? Redpoint's Brad Jones, FieNet's Ted Smith and Sutter Hill's Jim White.

We met at the ACA summit in San Diego. I really enjoy your show and I am wondering if you would allow me to link it from our website. I am confident that those people who visit our website will benefit greatly from your show.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I recently submitted an application to Tech Coast Angels and Coachella Valley Angels for Sunset Gaming. As a budding entrepreneur your podcasts have been a valued resource. I just wanted to thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for putting this podcast together. I have subscribed through iTunes for the last couple months now and have learned a lot already. I am the Founder of The Patients Advantage. We work with cosmetic surgeons (online) that are looking to find more patients. Typically our customers were frustrated with prospective patients who were not really qualified; sick and tired of talking about finances instead of the procedures they were trained to perform and concerned over paying for advertising that doesn’t work. I am looking forward to listening and getting involved more with the podcasts in any way I can.
