MyVBO was founded in 2007 by a team of business professionals from a variety of backgrounds – sales, IT, manufacturing, advertising and marketing – with experience in and with small business. Their goal was to build a technology-based tool designed to help the small business owner save time and money, make better decisions, and share their experiences with like-minded individuals. MyVBO has been under development for three years, launching in August 2009.
