Proposable.com is now live! We are so excited to unveil this game-changing sales platform to the world. The Proposable team has put in late nights, long days, and blood sweat and tears into this project (well.. not too much blood was spilt, actually) but now they’re open for business.

Proposable was released Thursday evening (2/11/10) and was immediately covered by the most well-read tech blogs, including TechCrunch and TheNextWeb.

SproutBox Open Applications

Trotzke — Fri, 08 May 2009 11:45:12 +0000

After over a year of hard work, we are ready to begin accepting public applications for SproutBox. We’ve done a lot this year, including building a solid network of investors, hiring a talented team, renovating 8,000+ square ft. of space, and developing 2 products (DecideAlready and CheddarGetter). That was just the beginning.

We’d like to thank Brian Solis, Kristin Lindstrom and Brian Blank from Future Works for all their work putting our launch PR campaign together. We’ll keep this post updated with a few links to some of the coverage we’ve received.
