Alignable is the international network for small and local entrepreneurs, as compared to the much larger and better known LinkedIn, which caters to a broader range of members, individual and corporate.
Thanks to Alignable, I just learned of a fascinating, below-the-radar business in town Velocity Sports Equipment who manufacture skydiving rigs. Who knew? Then there’s Slip Not Northwest, a Sisters business catering to businesses concerned about slip-and-fall liability due to hard-surface floors or bathtub/shower enclosures. Not exactly your everyday, Main Street businesses.
