What They Needed

Austin Entrepreneur Network has a longtime relationship with S Collective. We have created many web based marketing campaigns, microsites, and their current community driven aenetwork.org website. AEN is a very successful group of mentors reaching out to entrepreneurs in the Austin and Central Texas Area. We built both their community site & resource site to be a centralized location for all central Texas entrepreneur and start up news.

What We Did

Web design was just the beginning for AEN. We created a mini social network for startups and entrepreneurs called AEN-CONNECT which helps foster local community growth by allowing businesses to get connected and create profiles with investors, mentors, and local service providers. The newest version launched early this year. We created a very scalable platform that can be quickly re-branded and franchised out to other cities across the nation. The current areas of focus are revenue generation through advertisements, viewership growth via engaging relevant content and community building through the previously mentioned connect program.

The Result

Currently the site now gets roughly 4000 visits a month and successfully provides local Central Texas start ups with the information they need to start a new venture or seek funding for an existing one. The advertising platform brings in a substantial amount of money for the Austin Entrepreneur Network.
