Rob and Ryan Weber Win Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal's Young
Entrepreneur Award
ST. CLOUD, MN -- July 29, 2009 -- Rob and Ryan Weber, founders of W3i in
Sartell, MN, win the first ever Young Entrepreneur Award, presented by
Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. The award recognizes young
entrepreneurs who are running successful businesses in the metro area.
Rob and Ryan Weber started W3i in 2000 under the name of Freeze.com.
Recognizing that consumers want quality, free applications, they built a
network of publishers, advertisers, and consumers. Publishers are looking
to increase revenue for their applications funded by advertisers that want
to increase distribution and consumers that want useful, free PC
applications. W3i brings all these interests together in the W3i
Application Network. Their business grew rapidly, and the Application
Network is now averaging 9 million installations each month.
Rob Weber is now the Vice President of Business Development while Ryan
Weber is the Vice President of Corporate Strategy. In these roles they
identify and pursue opportunities to continue to grow the company. "Free
applications are in even more demand in this weakened economy," said Rob
Weber, VP of Business Development. "Publishers and advertisers of
applications are looking for alternative ways to grow their businesses.
W3i provides the revenue and traffic to make that happen."
"Hats off to Rob and Ryan Weber," comments Andy Johnson, CEO. "They
developed a passion for Internet marketing at an early age and put that
passion to work in expanding their business. By making their technology
available to other application marketers through the W3i Application
Network, they are helping other entrepreneurial application companies
succeed."
