Borders has chosen BookBrewer, a product from a recent Founder Institute Graduate named FeedBrewer, to power the engine for its eBook self-publishing service. Read about the partnership in the official press release or in media coverage from a variety of sources, including Fast Company, Publishers Weekly and PC Magazine.
The Founder of FeedBrewer, Dan Pacheco, has the following to say about his experience at the Founder Institute:
I also want to thank Jon Nordmark, the co-founder of Wambo.com and founder and former CEO of Denver-based eBags. He facilitated Denver’s inaugural class for Adeo Ressi’s Founder Institute, an intensive technology and mentoring program. For four months, I would spend every Tuesday night from 5:30-9 p.m. with him, other startup CEO mentors, and founders of 17 other companies. We would sound ideas off each other, refine them, give and receive brutal feedback, and delve deeply into the business behind our businesses. While I had a lot of ideas before, I can safely say that without the Founder Institute program I never would have been able to create this product at this time and get it in front of Borders. Nordmark also helped with the Borders introduction.
Congratulations to Dan and the FeedBrewer team!
