  • E-Cinch
    Co-Founder & Operations Advisor
    E-Cinch Dec 2019 - Dec 2022
    Fort Collins, Colorado, Us
    At E-Cinch, it’s our mission to help service businesses optimize their sales online. Founder & CEO, Joel Black, invented E-Cinch after owning an events business for nearly a decade. He was sick and tired of having to do a proposal for every single lead that came his way, especially without a guarantee of booking the job. Not to mention, the day or two the customer waited on him to send them a proposal felt like an eternity. Let’s face it, people want what they want, when they want it. Enter E-Cinch – an eCommerce platform similar to Shopify but specifically designed for service businesses. With E-Cinch, merchants can now sell their services online with the same ease as selling a t-shirt. Customers simply input their project information, and our software instantly calculates a quote.About a year ago, we released an MVP to a small group of mobile bar caterers and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Within a few months, we had over a hundred paid subscribers and clients were telling us they were doubling and tripling their sales, all while working less than ever before. And, this is just the beginning!Check out our website to learn more!! https://e-cinch.com
