We created this video with the hopes of giving an overall visual on who Koenect is and how it works. As you can see from the video we are just regular people who have gone through all the same struggles that others like you have gone or will go through when starting or running a business. This is why we created Koenect in the first place…
What is Koenect? (Interview Style Q&A)
This video is an interview-style discussion created to answer the most commonly asked questions about Koenect.com, who it is for, why we created it and how it can help you as a current business owner or entrepreneur. It was shot in an up and coming location in Downtown Buffalo NY at a exquisite wine Bar, Just Vino. Thank you so much to Jeff, the owner for sharing his incredible space with the Koenect team! Just another example on how the business community supports one another. All striving for the same end goal, understanding that we are much stronger working together. Those are the ones that truly succeed.

How To Match Your Skills with Other Businesses
by Chris Jordan
Are you looking to find new people and businesses that can help you open doors to new markets or provide skills that you don’t currently have? An opportunity could be right around the corner.
As a business, you are always wanting to find new markets to broaden your niche, continue with product development and keep some momentum. While doing your research, have you found some other business that you think would be a good fit for what your current business is doing or maybe they are knocking it out of the park in a market that you always wanted to get into? We must having something of ours that will benefit them for the match to work.
Why Koenect? – A True Story
Why Koenect? – A True Story
by Glenn Maslowsky
We started a company back in 1999 called Endless Innovations and our goals seemed clear, maybe a bit foggy but never the less achievable. At the time I was working as Development Engineer in the Aerospace and Defense industry and my wife Janine was a freelance graphic artist. The plan for this energetic and motivated couple in our early 30’s was pretty straight forward, design a product based on a need, market it and we are golden. We were a couple of adventure racers, so how hard could this be? Aw..The allure of owning your own business, the freedom from the 9 to 5, more flexibility, defining your own path, being your own boss….and the list goes on. Well, here was the reality….the physical and mental pains of Adventure Racing are only temporary…the struggles and failures of making the wrong decisions with your small business can last you the rest of your life…So make good well thought out decisions and stay focused!
