Interview With Ann Bernard

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Ann Bernard the Founder and CEO of WhyGoSolo.com. Why Go Solo, a D.C. based startup, provides users with the opportunity to find people to attend events with. I kept trying to allude to the fact that this site would be best suited for dating but Ann insists that this is a site for platonic relationships. However WhyGoSolo.com ends up being used, it was launched last month and has been gaining users since. Ann is probably one of the most entrepreneurial people I have ever met. Her company is currently seeking a round of funding so if you are looking for a company to invest in, you should talk to her!
