Rippple Startup Profile
An online crowsourcing platform, Rippple was founded to provide an innovative way to address the needs of entrepreneurs and connect them with their communities in a more effective manner.
"We believe that businesses have a compelling opportunity to give back to their local economies," says co-founder Alex Gibson. "Community members are the driving force behind this. Our whole mission is to assist local entrepreneurs in building their business."
Here's an illustration of how Rippple works.
Rippple won the audience vote and was selected among 7 companies to launch the Durham Startup Madness on March 31, 2011, and is also participating in the Startup Stampede.
The company is scheduled to open up a round of funding during summer 2011.

Favorite thing about Durham
The entrepreneurial ecosystem. "I grew up in Raleigh and owned a number of different companies," Alex says. "The previous one was also based in Durham, and really enjoyed the area – it offers great support and makes it easier for you to kick your company off the ground."
