OUR EVOLUTION
We survived the dot-com boom and bust, and have been
building and evolving our business ever since.
- V1.0 MBA GlobalNet
started out as MBA Interim Solutions in 1997.
Our mission was to provide project work for
experienced MBAs.
- V2.0 We changed our
name to MBA FreeAgents in 1998 due to a Cease
and Desist order from Interim Services, a $2
Billion company.
- V3.0 We evolved into
MBA GlobalNet in 2001 as it was evident that we
had outgrown the "free agent" movement not only
because many of our members wanted full-time
jobs, but many of our dot.com "free agent"
peers, who raised gigantic sums of venture
capital, failed.
- V3.1 MBA GlobalNet submits proposal June, 2002 to State of New York and receives $250,000 grant to provide volunteer
consulting to downtown small businesses near WTC who were affected by 9/11. MBAs4NYC receives 501(c)3 non-profit status in September, 2002.
14 months later -- 90 companies serviced by 3000 volunteer hours, many of them by MBAGN members.
- V3.2 MindForce
Consulting spun out as separate company in
January, 2004. In many ways, it
is MBA FreeAgents 2.0 based on our
understanding of how and why companies find and
hire independent consultants.
- V4.0 (10/04) MBA GlobalNet relaunches with our 3 Network Hubs and new subscription-based business model.
- V5.0 (9/06)MBA GlobalNet and MindForce Consulting join forces and work together for client venture and licensing team projects
- V6.0 (5/11) MBA GlobalNet relaunches web site and announces search for new ideas and leadership (in the LinkedIn, FB and Twitter era). Offers free Job Board Postings through end of 2011.
