Naymz + Nolan Bayliss + Team
When people want to determine whether you're going to be a good employee, a good date or a good laywer, they go to Google and type in your name. What comes up in the search results is unlikely to be the best representation of your self (reviews of 'Thomas the Train' on Amazon?). Naymz helps individuals and professional gain a little control over their implicit online profile. Their highly-SEO'd personal page give you a place to organize and present your 'self' that tends to come up in the first few search engine results.
Nolan, Tony Czupryna, Tom Drugan, Brian Pontarelli all learned their craft and met one other at Orbitz. A promising cocktail of two developers and two online marketers with over 20 years combined experience, this is their first entrepreneurial venture.
