Reaching Out

August 11, 2008 · Print This Article

The entire founding team of jamblr has struggled endlessly to solidify new relationships, secure funding, and nurture family friends, relatives, and any other leads that could potentially help out with the venture. The last of these aforementioned tasks, although unexpectedly so, has been the most difficult to execute.

Have you ever asked your grandmother for thousands of dollars? Have you ever begged your uncle for one of their wealthy friend’s contact information? Believe it or not, doing these things have been one of the hardest elements of building Jamblr. You don’t want to ruin relationships or sever ties with the important people in your life by approaching these situations unprofessionally. There is a very fine line between being a loved one and receiving the business respect that you need to form any type of partnership.

At Jamblr, we have had many opportunities to meet with friends of friends, and even direct relatives of our founders in order to keep the ball rolling. Even the fortunate opportunity to reach out to individuals already in the tech industry has helped out a great deal. Whenever we are given a shot to whisper the word “jamblr” into anyone’s ear, we have taken it. And that is what will allow jamblr to be successful down the road.

As we approach our official launch date, we will continue to reach out to everybody we possibly can. When the situation arises, even if we don’t need anything at the time, we make sure to enable any outsiders to take pride in jamblr and become involved with the project. If we neglected any of these opportunities, we wouldn’t be giving 100% to the project, and going out of our way to make jamblr a success.
