Making the Country Life a lot more Accessible to City Folk
Great business ideas tend to come to life out of a need, and CottageCountry.com is proof of that philosophy. Having experienced constant difficulty and frustration in trying to rent or buy cottages or even just finding a simple bed and breakfast for a weekend, Mark Bordo and his team saw a unique opportunity. And hence, CottageCountry.com was born.
With over 15 years of web development and marketing experience, they have built a one of Canada’s first online destinations that can help travelers find great accommodations in cottage country. Coupling their experience with the latest technology, the CottageCountry.com team has also given property owners the perfect avenue to list their homes.
With the goal to become Canada’s largest vacation website, it became apparent that the opportunity with Rogers Ventures was a fortunate one. Bordo notes that Rogers Ventures’ valuable and diverse experience has been a real boon to their growth, especially in the areas of marketing and business development.
When asked about working in the innovative environment of VentureBase, he goes on to state that the open environment naturally lends itself to collaboration. And since much of the collaboration is with other entrepreneurs, the opportunity to help others while your business is growing is ever present. This model is what Rogers Ventures was striving for when it was conceived, and it’s working for companies like CottageCountry.com.
Ultimately, CottageCountry.com has created an exciting search system to help people find their dream country vacation, as well as the perfect meeting place for those looking to market their cottages and those who are craving more of the country life.
