A few months ago Backblaze joined EFactor, a worldwide network of entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs are busily creating content, writing code, preparing business plans, etc.\u2014all while working from a coffee shop or traveling back-and-forth from meetings. At Backblaze, we wanted to offer all of these entrepreneurs our online backup service<\/a> in the hope that they don’t have one of those “Noooooo!!” moments when they realize the marketing plan they have spent many late nights working on just vanished with the laptop that was stolen out of the taxi cab.<\/p>\n

In addition to being available as a resource on the EFactor site, Backblaze was invited to demo last week at the BCSSA Entrepreneurial Pitch Competition and interviewed on EFactor Radio. We hope to help many other great entrepreneurs through our relationship with EFactor.<\/p>\n

If you are a current (or budding) entrepreneur, consider joining EFactor. As a bit of extra incentive, they are currently approaching the million-member mark and are awarding a three day trip to NYC or Amsterdam for the 1,000,000th<\/sup> member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
