PhindMe(R) Locates in a Leading U.S. Center for Entrepreneurship

PHILADELPHIA, May 7 PRNewswire — PhindMe(R), a provider of mobile-marketing solutions, announced that they have located in the Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship in Technology at Drexel University. The Baiada Center's mission is to develop entrepreneurial leaders and foster the creation of successful technology ventures.

A significant factor in PhindMe's decision to locate at the Baiada Center was that Drexel's LeBow College of Business has been named one of the nation's top 10 schools for entrepreneurs in the latest Entrepreneur Magazine and The Princeton Review. "Combining PhindMe's recent debut with the power of the Baiada Center, this is a perfect place for us to rapidly take our business from launch to nationwide success," said Doug Bellenger, COO of PhindMe.

The Baiada Center hosts a number of startup companies in the technology and life science sectors and has developed programs such as the Growth Acceleration Program (GAP) which focuses on accelerating early stage businesses through education and mentoring. "PhindMe is exactly the type of company that the Baiada Center can help as they grow their customer base and infrastructure," said Baiada Center director Mark Loschiavo. "Our programs, workshops, courses and training provide a continuum of care for innovators and entrepreneurs, driving new business creation, sustainability and growth."

With its move to the Baiada Center, PhindMe is also initiating a marketing campaign designed to help local businesses better understand how to bring the power of mobile-marketing into their businesses to drive foot traffic and revenues. Information developed for the campaign will be made available to traditional local business marketing partners such as newspapers, yellow pages, and media companies who want to better engage with the local business market.
