Find out more about Smarta in our quickfire Q&A...
What is Smarta?
The Smarta website will provide information, networking, tools
and services to make it easier for people to build a successful
business. It'll use the latest web2.0 and mobile technologies to
make sure you can get the information you need when and where you
need it.
Who is it for?
Smarta will help anyone who's running a business (however big or
small), starting one up or just thinking about it. Smarta will
bring people at all stages of the business journey together.
So where is it then?
Smarta is currently being developed - this blog will give you a
flavour of what Smarta is about and will help us gather your views
and feedback so that the Smarta site gives you exactly what you
need. We promise it will be worth the wait!
When will the full site be ready?
You'll be able to start using the beta version of Smarta in
summer 2008. We plan to be out of beta with the full version of
Smarta up and running by Enterprise Week in November 2008.
How much will it cost?
Not a penny. Membership is free.
Who's behind Smarta?
Smarta's founder is entrepreneur Shaa Wasmund - watch this video
to find out more about why she's setting up Smarta. It's backed by
Vodafone and the Make Your Mark campaign and it's a social
enterprise (that means that any profits go straight back into
making Smarta better for you).
