Subject: Bizness Apps raises angel round from Chris Friedland and Robert Strazzarino

Hey Robin,

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving. See below.

You covered our start up, Bizness Apps, exactly 2 years ago on Thanksgiving. We've since grown from a couple thousand in MRR to nearly $500,000/MRR in just two years. It's been a wild ride to say the least.

So thanks man, I'm thankful for guys like you that spend your days giving the little guys a spark to start a fire and helping startups grow into real companies with millions in revenue.

On behalf of the entire team at Bizness Apps, we hope you have a great holiday weekend. 🙂

Hey TechCrunch,

Check out Bizness Apps.

We just raised an angel round from Chris Friedland, CEO and founder of Build.com and Robert Strazzarino, CEO and founder of Collegescheduler.com.

Check out this link for more information on the investment deal.

Were entering the crowded space of do-it-yourself iPhone app makers but with a more hands on approach for businesses.

We'll create any business an iPhone app from start to finish for $39 a month. Our experience has shown that small businesses don't have time to learn a do-it-yourself iPhone app platform so we take the initiative and set up their app completely free of charge.

After creating an app for a business, we give them the tools to maintain their app themselves and teach them how to use our platform.

Please contact me for any additional information.

Thanks.

This was recorded a while ago, but with all the traveling from the past two months, I’m late to the party.

Anyway, Belgian carrier BASE invited me to get myself a 6-meter tall holographic statue in Brussels during the Nuit Blanche to celebrate the launch of a new tariff plan for youngsters that comes with a free Spotify premium account.

I took them up on the opportunity because I wanted to see how that would work technically, and wasn’t disappointed.

I danced like an idiot, of course, but at least I got Jaan in there as well.

I thought the effects were super cool, but it’s a shame the video doesn’t really reflect how impressive it was to see it 6 meters tall in real life.

Also too bad you can’t see that I’m wearing my Reddit t-shirt 🙂

PS: you can check out more statues on Facebook here.
