The team Chris H. and I are advising made it to the next round of UW business school's competition. The event was superb!

Quoted: While there appeared to be fewer Internet startups this year, Spottage was certainly trying to get the message out. The founders -- dressed in T-shirts with the company logo -- actively approached investors in hopes of explaining how their online apartment finding service worked.

Darrick Morrison, a 23-year-old UW senior, explained Spottage as a map-based online apartment finding service for college students. In addition to online advertising, the company plans to make money every time a landlord successfully signs up a tenant through the site. On a property of $1,500 or less, the landlord would pay $215 to Spottage. Spottage then plans to pass $50 of that on to the tenants.

"We are bringing eyeballs to apartment listings," said Morrison, who in the next two weeks plans an elaborate marketing campaign that includes hidden plastic balls -- bearing prizes -- on the UW campus. "We want to scale this as big as we can," he said.

Spoken like a true entrepreneur..
