    The one-word answer: Growth. Micro-businesses using the platform have exploded to 940,000, with 1500 being added every day.

    Let me jot your memory: SohoOS offers a collection of business… → Read More

    Soho OS Lands $1M, Opens Business Management Suite To All Small Businesses

    A couple of months ago we first covered Soho OS, describing its offering as a soup-to-nuts “hybrid of Quicken + Zoho + SalesForce”. Today, the company is announcing that it has secured $1 million in funding from The Time. This is on top of the $250K the company had raised in its pre-seed round.

    In our initial post, the company offered 1000 beta invites to TechCrunch readers, and in response, 7000… → Read More

    Soho OS: Soup-to-Nuts Utility Platform for Small & Micro Businesses (1000 Invites)

And this is pretty much what Soho OS is. Thing is, the odds that their target user bases, small and micro-business, are regular TechCrunch readers, are slim.

    But let’s push the ‘how to succinctly describe the offering’ issue… → Read More
