Business Innovation Program, a residency program supporting entrepreneurs and startups.
Cambridge, MA, September 25, 2015 (Straight Line PR) -- iPrytaneum today announced that the
company has been chosen by Constant Contact, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT) to join its Small Business
Innovation Program, a four-month residency program designed to support entrepreneurs and
startups as they solve problems for small businesses. iPrytaneum will join other startup class
members in Constant Contact's Innovation Loft (InnoLoft), a 30,000 square foot office space at
the company's Waltham, MA headquarters.
"iPrytaneum is announcing that we will be launching the first platform that will level the playing
field and promote a nonprofit's voice by providing a space that brings together the public, brands
and the nonprofits in a single space. This platform will empower them to launch, manage and
measure viral campaigns and innovate as a group rather than individuals," said Joshua S.
Raymond, Co-Founder & CEO. "Our organizations share an incredible passion for helping
nonprofits succeed, so getting into the InnoLoft program is huge. Having the ability to work with
some of the industry's best and brightest to help solve major problems that affect nonprofits in an
environment that fosters innovation, creativity and amazing resources - absolute game changer."
The Small Business Innovation Program ( http://smbinnoloft.com/ ) is a first-of-its-kind
accelerator program, entirely hosted and run by Constant Contact. It's designed to support
entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping small businesses, by building new products,
features and services. Twice a year, small classes of startups take up residence in the InnoLoft:
30,000 square feet of lab, test kitchen, play room, business school, safe space, and launch pad for
startups to work, dream, test, disrupt, strategize and plan.
iPrytaneum uses an integrated, multi-faceted approach, combining mobile and web applications
and digital marketing expertise to create much higher exposure for nonprofit organizations, while
helping them run highly engaging challenges and customized fundraising campaigns.

Contact's resources and small business expertise; Constant Contact can continue to tap the
startup ecosystem for inspiration; and, most importantly, nonprofits will have valuable solutions
that provide a free, easy-to-use platform that fully facilitates the fundraising process to help them
do more business."
iPrytaneum strives to create the platform that provides a rich multimedia experience. In addition
to mobile apps, iPrytaneum will be launching a responsive web app that allows organizations as
well as individuals to create challenges, upload and share videos and pictures, and participate in
live events run by nonprofits.
