Social media is SproutBox's primary source of deal flow. It just makes sense when you have an application process like we do that we would tweet about apps opening and closing-- and that people would retweet the opportunity.

We also use Facebook, twitter and linkedIn extensively for research. If we're interested in an app we immediately look up entrepreneur's profiles. If we know them it reminds us how. If we don't, we find common connections and get some context aout what they are about.

I don't think we could do what we do, at the scale that we do, if social media didn't exist.

BTW... we're missing you out at Big Omaha this year.
