Peoplemovers has upgraded with a new look and more changes are planned this year. The web site, which he launched from his Boston-Edison home in 2003, serves as a social networking community, like Facebook or MySpace, that focuses on community outreach.
"We're providing a low-cost way for communities and organizations to work together so these communities can thrive," Zendler says.
The web site became a for-profit business last summer. Peoplemovers has about 500 members and 100 organizations as of now. Zendler hopes to grow to 50,000 members and 4,000 groups by the end of this year. Zendler also plans to grow his staff of four and a few independent contractors to 200 within three years. He and his investors expect to raise $1 million this year to make that happen.
"We have a very aggressive growth pattern over the next three years," he says.
