About the Winner

A tiny apartment in New York City sometimes yields very large things. In this case, it's a big idea for a small business run by Sam Feuer. MindSmack is a website design business but it's completely farmed out to a group of other home-based designers.

He's amassed a list over 50 freelance web designers and developers who are available for all types of projects for clients all over the world. The key has been communication internally and with clients. Sam believes responsiveness to emails should be within 5 minutes or less.

Today the operation has moved to Sam's home office in North Brunswick, NJ, where he has 37 full time employees. In his words, "The key is GREAT people, GREAT communication, and GREAT dedication to ENSURING continual success."
