BizProLink Seeks to Raise $12 Million; Former Microsoft Partner Expands Internet Portal Network.

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 1999--After its successful launch last month, BizProLink (located at www.BizProLink.com), a network of Business-to-Business internet navigational portals, announced it is now seeking to raise $12 million dollars.

BizProLink's first portal, serving the Foodservice Industry, exceeded management's expectations by attracting 30,000 foodservice professionals since its December 15th launch. This prompted the company to push forward the launch dates of its 15 remaining portals serving the Healthcare, Legal, Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate professions.

"Our intent is simply to be the Yahoo of Business-to-Business internet searching. Yahoo effectively serves Consumers, and BizProLink efficiently serves business," said Steven Sponder, president and founder of BizProLink, Inc.

Funded entirely by Sponder, the company presently has no outstanding debt. "With $12 million in funding, we will aggressively market and extend our brand's lead in the niche we've created. Our goal is to make BizProLink the world's leading Business-to-Business Portal network," said Kevin Goch, BizProLink's V.P. of corporate and investor relations.

The BizProLink Network of portals is an evolution of the business-to-business site that Sponder created, when he was a Microsoft Network content partner.

"While Yahoo!(R) Lycos(R), and Excite(R) have established themselves as the most recognizable consumer web search and navigation portals, there is not yet a business-to-business equivalent. BizProLink is positioned to fill this void, and has the potential to become a $350 million business within 5 years," said Tig Tillinghast, an internet strategist who works with clients such as Microsoft and Intel.
