Atlanta Teen's Multi-Million Dollar Startup

  ATLANTA,GA - 04/22/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

BizBoards.com, a revolutionary B2B platform to sell businesses, seek investment and post job listings is co-founded by high school student, Chad Carrodus. While headquartered in the renowned Atlanta Tech Village, Carrodus’ co-founder and CTO, Darcy Gunning, is based in Australia. The project started in early 2015. Carrodus and his team are priming for a late May launch in order to perfect a seamless integration of features and unparalleled user experience.             

“There is talk of investments which would value the company at seven figures”, says Carrodus, “However, there is no immediate need for high amounts of capital at the moment, as we are being very strategic and frugal with the allocation of our own funds.” BizBoards’ core team is comprised of Carrodus and Gunning, who communicate via Skype and email, as well as the New York based development team they hired.

While teens may face barriers of entry due to their age, the 18 year old has a certain charisma that resonates with the business community. “I use my age as a platform to stand out, instead of as a restricting factor”, says Carrodus. Being one of the youngest 40 Under 40 recipients (Georgia Trend 2015), founding a charity and selling private jet services certainly adds another level of credibility.

“My high school career has certainly been interesting”, says the teen CEO, “I went from selling hotdogs at a concession stand my freshman year to eventually living my dream of running my own company a few years later.”

Instead of occupying his lunches in the school cafeteria, his agenda is packed meeting with some of Southeast’s most notable attorneys, banking advisors, business strategists finance experts and entrepreneurs.

BizBoards’ simplicity, modern user experience and extremely aggressive pricing has contributed to the support the team has received. The corporation anticipates on bringing on another employee to spearhead the marketing efforts in the coming weeks.

BizBoards has a wide customer base, as it sells listings on the site to those looking to sell a business, seek investment, or list a job. Therefore, the additional audience which BizBoards is looking to engage are primarily investors looking to buy a business or invest in one, as well as those seeking jobs. Carrodus says, “Think Zillow or Realtor.com meets AngiesList.”
