(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Business opportunity marketplace BeanSprout (www.beansprout.co) announced on Monday that it has launched its new beta program. According to the press release, BeanSprout now makes finding partnership opportunities easier by allowing members to create, share and recommend opportunities to a LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) network.

This announcement comes two months after the WHIR interviewed BeanSprout co-founder Alex Kehayis about how the platform can help hosting providers find business growth opportunities.

Previously, BeanSprout was separate from LinkedIn and at the time Kehayias saw a distinction between the two platforms: BeanSprout was more about the company-level information while LinkedIn was more about personal connections. With the integration, individuals can suggest opportunities to relevant people in their LinkedIn network.

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Business development platform BeanSprout (www.bnsprt.com) announced on Monday it has partnered with ecommerce software provider X-cart (www.x-cart.com) to help online merchants find business development partners.

By enrolling in BeanSprout, companies are matched with similar companies for business development opportunities. Similar to online dating services, BeanSprout “figures out who would make a good partner and presents it as a match.” If there is a mutual interest, contact information is exchanged to further discuss the partnership, in what BeanSprout calls a “connection.”

X-cart customers will receive 10 free connections on BeanSprout to help them find distribution, marketing and technology partnerships, according to the press release.
