Biznik Blog

Lots of you know amazing Seattle chef Tiberio Simone, who has catered the food at virtually all of the large Biznik events such as BizJam and all of our annual holiday parties. Or you’ve met him at other events as that guy handing out chocolates. More recently he’s teamed up with photographer Matt Freedman to create the La Figa Project, in which Tiberio’s passion for food and beauty have found their ultimate expression. Check this out. If you don’t think passion and art and business mix, you haven’t met Tiberio and Matt! Nice work, you guys (and girls).

Last night Biznik reached a major milestone: we got Paul Renzi to join us. Paul is a social entrepreneur from Hockessin, Delaware, and when he joined Biznik last night around 6:30pm, he became the 25,000th member of this community of extraordinary entrepreneurs.

“My goal is to increase the ability of shared-interest groups to leverage themselves through the creation of online communities,” says Paul. “I am currently designing a community called bizearthcommunity.com (site not built yet) — a site designed to help the entrepreneurial community connect and find funding, while also participating in shared philanthropic objectives. I have acquired seed funding, but I am still in need of some solid growth funding.”

It’s so fitting that a community-builder is our 25,000th member. I’m going to do everything I can to help him succeed, and I know you will, too. Check out the online community builders network he’s building: http://entrepreneurshipnation.ning.com. Welcome to Biznik, Paul!
