This may be the only zoo most familiar to those in the startup world - let's call it the Entrepreneurs Zoo! Just coincidentally, many of the vendors, services and products, we (and other entrepreneurs) use in starting a business have "animal" names. We've used many of them, and here is a line up and maybe one of them can help you.
Web Development and Technology
- HostGator - affordable web hosting solution
- Safari - easy-to-use browser iDevices OS X Mountain Lion - Comes standard on all Macs
- Grasshopper - affordable cloud-based phone and IVR solution
- MailChimp - simple interface to send out your email campaigns and build a list.
- MOO - on-demand business cards, stickers, and stationary to promote your business
- SurveyMonkey - customizable forms to poll customers and analyze that data
- Shark Tank - TV show with ventures vying for funding
- Task Rabbit - reliable outsourcing of some of your daily tasks
- Red Bull - instant energy to keep you up in those long nights
The #entrepreneurfail part of this is that aspiring entrepreneurs may want to just use a service or a vendor without assessing business needs and ROI and end up wasting time and resources. Make sure you do your due diligence and choose only vendors that will grow your business.
