We have been in a long email discussion with the guys over at mybedstuy.com and the discussion has lead to us being acquired by mybedstuy.com By merging, we believe we will give our readers old and new more inofrmation and a better place to share their opinions.

Even though we will not be running the site, we will be doing guest post from time to time.

Again, we would like to say thank you to all of our readers who have been with us and hope you continue this journey with us over at mybedstuy.com

See you in the Stuy,

Save Brooklyn Now – Wanted for Robbery on Lewis Ave

While searching a little more, came across this video of some of the first businesses to participate in this program.

Goldman Sachs states on their site that, the initiative will unlock the growth and job-creation potential of 10,000 small businesses across the United States through greater access to business education, mentors and networks, and financial capital. Click here to read more on their site.

LaGuardia Community College also has information on their site about the program. They have a list of dates for several information sessions for the month of August and a application on their site to signup for the program. Click here to check it out.

From the information I have seen, looks like a pretty solid program created just for small businesses owners. Which is pretty cool in this day and age.

Hopefully we will see some local Bed-Stuy businesses graduating from this program.

Has anyone heard anything about this program or know someone who has gone through it?

While reading Mybrooklynreport.com I noticed that they will be publishing an ebook on buying foreclosure short sales in Brooklyn.

The release date is March 15th 2011 and will only be available for download for 72 hours. Get more details on it here.

I am really hoping this ebook will be full of down to earth information that the average person can put to use in this current economy that is full of opportunities.

Check back on the 15 to share your thoughts on the report.
