He saw a great demand for an independent portal, especially for small and medium sized enterprises seeking for suitable an interesting IT products (especially hard ware and software). His portal became an instant success en grew every year. Little by little he added more services. Orlando and his team (3 employees) have won several national prizes, such as the National Price of Journalism of Colombia in 2004.

With the loan Orlando wants to improve the website and make the portal more interactive. He will also hire 2 new employees to be able to evaluate more products and to add new themes to the portfolio. This way he is able to support small and medium sized businesses even better.
