On a recent busy afternoon at the Vator.tv studios, BizzFlip co-founders Forrest Kolb and Joseph Paone stopped by to tell us their plan for turning the site into "the entrepreneur's Craigslist." 

The site allows users to buy and sell businesses and seek venture capital funding through classified listings.

Two Testimonials for the Price of One... Four months ago we announced on Vator.Tv that should we ever seek outside investors, we would post a classified ad for it on BF under our "Venture Capital" posting category. What we didn't know was that our "Angel" would view BF's interview with Bambi, stumble upon our ad seeking funding, contact us and soon become a part of the vision. Huge thanks to Vator.tv and the Vator community for helping make things possible for we fellow entrepreneurs.

Greetings Vator Community! Well as we mentioned in our interview at Vator Studios, if we ever considered accepting outside funding as a possible route to bring us closer to our mission, we would actually post for it on BizzFlip.com. Well, we did it! <a href="http://blog.bizzflip.com/bizzflipcom/2008/03/seeking-funding.html" target="_blank">http://blog.bizzflip.com/bizzflipcom/2008/03/seeking-funding.html</a>

About time someone solved this serious problem we entrepreneurs face - lack of an efficient marketplace for accessing resources needed by time constrained, resource constrained entrepreneurs! Looks like I'll be hanging out on BizzFlip a lot from now on...
