BossWatch enables you to anonymously rate your boss using a respectable and focused evaluation form so that job seekers can search for bosses at potential workplaces and can receive reports detailing the ratings that each boss has received.
- Sparked is the world's first Microvolunteering network. "Easy, social, online volunteering for busy people." WHY MICROVOLUNTEERING? Most of us live incredibly busy lives. With 60 hour work-weeks, kids, running errands, and the stress of everything else, it's difficult to take an entire day off to volunteer. And yet, we do have spare time.

At Sparked, it's our goal to offer *convenient* online volunteerism to you. We're driven to fit volunteerism into the same kind of time that you might normally spend on Facebook, Farmville, or Twitter. It's volunteerism for the digital age. We call it microvolunteering.

- We want to make it easier to meet new people. Post college it becomes more and more difficult to expand your friends. As you get older, your friends get married, move away, start hanging out with other people, or you just stop connecting with them altogether. Whatever the case may be, it's super hard meeting people you want to be friends with! It seemed like the only friends we hung out with were old college and high school buddies or colleagues from work. We didn't even get along with all of them, but we just hung out with them, because our circle was shrinking/we didn't want to be stuck at home. This pain was multiplied when we decided to move to Chicago last year to open a cream puff store not knowing anyone! Being new to a big city without any friends is rough. We tried the bars and lounges, but it was difficult. We couldn't carry on any good conversations in these noisy and dark places, plus it was super expensive and bad on our livers. We love eating and we love going to different neighborhoods in search of food and it dawned on us: Why can't we just hang out with cool people while we eat at these places? Fast forward a few months and Grubwithus was born.
