Good article; thanks for sharing. Good luck to you entrepreneurs out there! As everybody’s cutting down costs, I’d like to remind everyone that social media marketing is really cheap and effective these days. Creating a short, captivating video and putting it up on YouTube, Vimeo, and AdWido can easily improve your image for a relatively low cost. Once again, good luck!

Seems like a great idea. It’s these kinds of start-ups that fuel the economy. Of course, with more people at home these days and people with less cash to spend on going out, there’s bound to be less need for these services. I can see a time when this business could expand to other cities and really take off.

Thanks Jessica for the article and to everyone for your thoughtful comments! While the current economy does present a number of new challenges, it also has given us the chance to think about our business and our roles in new ways and listen even more closely to what our users want and need. And while we have been focusing our attention on New York, we have been excited to see new members join from across the country as our name gets out there thanks to articles like this one. We were also able to raise a small amount of capital recently that has enabled us to strategically market the site. Thanks again and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any feedback or questions!

Very well written and informative. Hope to read some more from Jess.
I wish we had young kids at home to use the babysitting services offered by myJambi.

It’s a shame. It’s one thing when jobs are lost by big companies, but in this recession it seems like entrepreneurs are drastically cutting their employees so they can survive. Perhaps the government recovery plans could be to find this type of job rather than just pay unemployment. It’s the small businesses that make the US great – and we will lose a lot of them and a lot of us will lose our jobs.
