I am glad you guys liked the write up. You have a great idea with crowdSPRING and it was a lot of fun to browse around on your website. Good luck in the Wired Small Business Program, I am definitely voting for you guys as much as possible.

Thanks so much for writing about crowdSPRING and for providing a nice summary about our creative marketplace. We launched in May 2008 and already, nearly 11,000 creatives from 130+ countries work on crowdSPRING. You are absolutely right that crowdSPRING lets buyers (we’ve had buyers from 32 countries) leverage creative talent around the world to get a professional result.

As for the name – it’s pretty difficult it is these days to name a company AND get a URL. We spent far too much time thinking about a name but ended up focusing on the concept of crowdsourcing – which is our model – and the idea that in our projects, one person is typically selected as the winning designer. Hence – crowdspring. The capitalization was introduced by the designer who designed our logo – a nighttime janitor.

Thanks again.

Best,
