description

SoSuite intends to make social marketing easy for the "DIY" (do-it-yourself) social marketing practitioner. It's like a guided tour that masterfully integrates the art of social media with the science of social tools in a easy-to-use suite. Partial proof of concept is built on SaaS Springboard Platform and we're looking for $1.5M in funding to build with an eye toward an exit by sale.
