3GG is developing 40billion.com, THE friends and family funding network for entrepreneurs. We aim to address a $40 billion gap in funding for small businesses by enabling more entrepreneurs to access affordable business financing (gift donations and loans) and resources through the people they know and trust.

Our fundraising goal is to raise $30,000 in two months to continue development of a beta website, which we will launch this year. Help us reach our goal by investing in our big idea, and invite someone you know to support our venture.
Offer to funders: As a thank you gift, if you contribute at least $500, we will send you a custom-embroidered polo shirt with the 40billion.com logo on it! Also, be sure to check our Company Updates on this page (left side) to keep track of our progress and see how your contribution is helping.

3 Guys in a Garage (3GG) is a venture incubator and innovation consultancy, specializing in consumer Internet products for TV, Web, and mobile.

Remember when the proverbial three guys in a garage - a small group of Internet entrepreneurs with a big idea, passion, and modest resources - would undercut a big corporation by innovating faster, cheaper, and better? CraigsList did it in 1995, Google in 1998, YouTube in 2005. They started out as three guys in a garage and quickly grew to be household names and businesses worth billions of dollars. Meanwhile, their disruptive innovations have threatened the existence of bigger, entrenched corporations.

3GG combines strategy, ideas, and execution with the culture of three guys in a garage to develop new media products faster, cheaper, and better. We have vast innovation knowledge, corporate media and startup experience, patents from inventions, TONS of big ideas in progress, and passion for new media.

1. We provide strategy, ideas, AND execution; whereas, most consulting firms provide only one or two components and leave you to figure out the rest.
2. We innovate faster, cheaper, and better. Our client-partners are traditional media corporations, online businesses, and interactive agencies seeking the same advantages.
3. We have our own garage, which serves as an incubator for developing and launching new media ventures.
