BatchBlue’s inaugural app is Batchbook, an online contact organizer for small business, which launched in Fall of 2007 at DEMO, the premiere conference for emerging and innovative technology (http://www.demo.com/).

BatchBlue’s mission is to provide usable, useful software that brings big business tools and technology to the small business sector. Their product research involves extensive user and usability testing through support forums and user group surveys.

In early 2009, BatchBlue founded The Small Business Web (http://thesmallbusinessweb.com), a movement to bring together like-minded, customer-obsessed software companies to integrate their respective products and make life easier for small businesses.  What began as a five company collaboration (BatchBlue, FreshBooks, MailChimp, ShoeBoxed and Outright) grew to over 70 companies in one year and was described by Businessweek as "a fundamentally different way of doing business".

BatchBlue also hosts the weekly SBBuzz small business Twitter chat (http://sbbuzz.biz) where hundreds of small business owner log in each week to discuss technology and social media related issues.  Launched in 2009, the chat grew to over 18,000 followers in the first year and has hosted prominent small business speakers such as Anita Campbell, CEO of smallbiztrends.com, BeckMcCray, editor of SmallBizSurvival.com and Lee Hower, co-founder of LinkedIn and principal at Point Judith Capital.
