Oh my, this is fantastic news. The BrightSpyre-powered job board “PersonForce” is now the official job board for CrunchBoard (TechCrunch) and VentureBeat - two of the biggest blogs covering web2.0 startups out of silicon valley.

This is a great case study of two guys envisioning the right product out of Stanford, and in less than a year being able not only capture 100% of all the IVY league universities’ job boards, but also now being the official job board of some of the biggest names in the blogosphere.

And all this without raising a penny in capital.

Awesome work Atif, Faisal and the rest of the Personforce / Brightspyre team – you’ve come a long long way and deserve it. Now teach the rest of us the secret sauce of getting there without raising capital :)

    Kudos to the Personforce team. This proves that disruptive technology can be innovated from enabling technologies. Another lesson is that advertisement is not the only revenue sharing commodity. What enabling technology of today can be used in the community-driven, revenue share model.
