Kiwi Crate was built out of a passion for hands-on fun that encourages creativity and curiosity in children. I had a deep appreciation for these projects, but often found that my greatest intentions fell short. It was tough to find the time to come up with engaging hands-on activities, let alone get the materials.
So, as I started to develop creative projects with my kids, I thought, “why not share them with friends, who are also busy?” At playdates, the kids had a bunch of fun, and the parents appreciated having all of the materials and inspiration for the projects provided. Several parents mentioned, "I wish I could do this at home with my kids!"
Kiwi Crate was created to fulfill that wish and to celebrate kids’ natural creativity and curiosity. We want to make it fun, easy, and delightful to spend time building, exploring and creating together. Since its inception, the Kiwi Crate team has grown. We've added creative parents who dream up the projects, valued experts who review them, and a community of kid testers who keeps us on our toes and ensures the projects are fun and engaging.

Post college it becomes more and more difficult to expand your friends. As you get older, your friends get married, move away, start hanging out with other people, or you just stop connecting with them altogether. Whatever the case may be, it's super hard meeting people you want to be friends with!
We know this pain all too well!
It seemed like the only friends we hung out with were old college and high school buddies or colleagues from work. We didn't even get along with all of them, but we just hung out with them, because our circle was shrinking/we didn't want to be stuck at home. This pain was multiplied when we decided to move to Chicago last year to open a cream puff store not knowing anyone! Being new to a big city without any friends is rough.
We tried the bars and lounges, but it was difficult. We couldn't carry on any good conversations in these noisy and dark places, plus it was super expensive and bad on our livers. We love eating and we love going to different neighborhoods in search of food and it dawned on us: Why can't we just hang out with cool people while we eat at these places? Fast forward a few months and Grubwithus was born.
If you want to learn more, come find us at a meal. We are always grubbing.

We at MOVIECLIPS.com are movie fans - no, we are movie freaks! We love movies. We love to see movies. We love to talk about movies. We love to discover, rediscover and relive movies. For this reason, we have created movieclips.com - to bottle that insane, enthusiastic energy and share it with the world. With over 12,000 movie clips, you can search, find, view, discuss and share scenes from your favorite movies.
For a year, the team at MOVIECLIPS has worked tirelessly to collect clips and make them completely searchable by actor, title, genre, occasion, action, mood, character, theme, setting, prop, and even dialogue. This makes it simple to find a scene fast. We are hopeful that you'll use this powerful search to discover new movies. For that reason, we've included links with each clip to easily buy or rent the feature-length movie.
We want to thank the Hollywood studios who’ve worked closely with us to turn this dream into a reality. No longer do we as fans have to resort to piracy in order to find, view, and share one's favorite scenes. No longer do we as fans have to wade through mismarked user-generated crap to find the “real” scene. No longer do we as fans have to put up with low quality, lame viewing experiences that have been our only option.
MOVIECLIPS beta is here now! We are legal and free to every user. As beta users, we are counting on your participation: spread the word, give us feedback, and recommend more of your favorite scenes. The uploading process takes time, but we wanted to give everyone a taste of what we have before the holidays, and we will be uploading thousands of scenes over the next couple of months.

SkillSlate is a vertical search directory for finding individual service providers such as handymen, tutors, or dog walkers. Our directories consist of profiles complete with pictures, prices, and reviews, as well as information that paints a picture of the service provider’s personality.
Despite the fact that individual service providers make up 15% of the U.S. workforce, finding these individuals online as a consumer is hard. That’s because search engines tend to favor bigger (more expensive) companies and most classified site postings don’t provide enough information to let consumers make informed decisions.
SkillSlate aims to solve this problem by giving individual service providers an easy and effective way to market their services online through their SkillSlate profile. And, because SkillSlate is building the most comprehensive source for finding these individual service providers, we end up generating a lot of leads for our members.
