Our guest this week is Aayush Phumbhra, the co-founder of Chegg.com a Silicon Valley company that started at Iowa State University. You may remember it as "CheggPost.com" from back in the day in Ames. Chegg is described as "netflix for textbooks" and one of the most successful (at least in terms of VC dollars raised) startups to come out of a dorm room at Iowa State.

Profitable Niches With Guest Brian Kaldenberg - Episode 15

In our 15th episode of PrairieCast we have Iowa City entrepreneur Brian Kaldenberg of Kaldenberg Consulting on to talk about a few of his endeavors. We'll talk about GameRosters.com - an NCAA football video game rosters product whose niche market has over 20,000 customers. Then we'll dive into another niche business that didn't quite succeed as much - selling video game controllers online. And last we'll dive into Brian's latest venture - a proofreading service called ProofReadingPal.com.
