The BRBJ had a nice article the other day on young entrepreneurs in our region. I was happy to see that I'm still considered both young, and an entrepreneur. :)
Here is the excerpt on us:
Pat Matthews and two other Virginia Tech students started the business email hosting company Mailtrust.com in 2000 before graduating. The 31-year-old and his colleagues used their credit cards to start the company and “ran up probably about $75,000 in debt each. And we also raised a little bit of money from some friends and family.” From 2002 to 2004 they grew the business out of a basement in Northern Virginia and had about five employees. Rackspace bought the company in 2007. Today they have about 220 employees and the company occupies most of the University Mall in Blacksburg. It also operates an office in San Antonio, Texas, (where Rackspace is located) and a small office in Roanoke.
