Hello, Women 2.0!

I'd like to introduce Book+Main—Where Big Data Meets Romance: the #1 Grossing Genre. We are a sales and marketing tool for authors, a book discovery tool for readers and an online community that inspires authentic, on-going connection between the two.

We connect authors and readers with Bites. Bites are excerpts chosen by the author to introduce a reader to their words. Authors can choose from over 350 genre-specific keywords to attach to their Bites, so a reader can find exactly what they’re looking for the moment they’re in the mood.

Since launch in November of 2017, we have:

• Over 1 Million Bites viewed
• Over 100,000 retail clickthrus—site-wide conversion of 10%
• Over 48k registered users in 150+ countries
• More than 3,500 published romance authors

Our equity crowdfunding campaign is live on Republic at republic.co/bookandmain. Not only is our industry 82% female, our C-Suite is 2/3 female, including me, our CEO. We’d love to have you join our campaign!

Hello everyone!

I am building a company with a currently balanced audience of 47% Women and 53% Men. But the most interesting thing is that most of the people who are interested in working in the company are women.

So I thought I'd find a Technical Co-Founder and Investor (Woman) to help me get this company to the IPO in 7 years.

Who knows of a very rich nerd woman with $10 million ready to invest in #LuxuryDistrict please introduce me to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Hi, I m theh Founder/CEO of a company that was accepted as a participant in the StartUp Chile program back in 1913. I have since been in Chile and Argentina training people and producing audiobooks in Spanish (this is still a brand new product in Latin America). And now we have gone beyond the production to the development of a brand new sales platform for audiobooks in Latin America. We are 3/4s done in the huge infrastructure for the platform and right now I am in the States looking for new clients to produce audiobooks so we can complete the apps needed for the platform. Want to know more about it? Check out our landing page:
mundo-hablado.appspot.com/landing/#/home
If you are an Author, or know any who might be interested in producing an audibook in Spanish, we are for a limited time giving the translations at no cost.
This is a huge undertaking for something that has never been done in Latin America, but I have never learned how to do things that are small or easy!!!
