When I was at Cornell, working on group projects was the bane of my existence—especially when I didn’t get to choose the members of my group. It always seemed that I got stuck with a slacker or two, and there was always someone who just wanted to do the whole project by himself/herself (ok, sometimes that was me). Besides getting stuck with crappy partners, the logistics of organizing meetings, keeping edits to a document straight, and communicating with people who don’t check their e-mail drove me crazy. I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t enjoy the group project experience at Cornell, because Dana Lampert, a fellow alum, founded Wiggio, a company and web application that “makes it easy to work in groups.” They’re based out of Cambridge, MA, and they’ve moved well beyond focusing on just college students. Wiggio can help sports teams, non-profit organizations, small businesses, Greek organizations, and pretty much anyone who works with other people. They’ve already broken 100,000 users, and they seem to be growing at an awesome pace, which is why now is the time to think about working for them.
I love when companies have simple videos that explain exactly what they do. Wiggio has done a nice job, so check out the video below to get the scoop.
Got it. Wiggio’s business model is currently based on selling targeted advertising within the site à la Facebook. I’m not sure if that will work out well, but there’s certainly potential. They seem intent on remaining a free service, but they always have the option of building some premium features for users who are willing to pay. How about jobs at Wiggio? They’re a small company with only 3 employees, and they don’t even have a Jobs page on their site, but they do use Startuply. Right now they have a posting for a Marketing/Sales Evangelist that looks pretty well suited to new grads. You can apply online, and even if you don’t want to work for them, give Wiggio a try for the next time you’re working with a group. (You might even want to try managing a job search group with Wiggio.) I also imagine that they’d love to hear from people with great Web Development skills, as they have an internship opening in that area, and nearly every web startup needs good developers.
