What was the driving force for you to start your business?

Entrepreneurship has its own energy which flows through your passion towards it, & when we started we personally find it difficult to get into marketing because it needs lots of investment into social media and search engine marketing. At the same time, we thought to start track next so that users can save his money of marketing & assemble his venture with the wings of Tracknext which will just add an extra mileage in his ventures & Personal success.

When we launch beta-3.0 on Dec 14 with little functionality like Launch, Matching profile, SEO, and SSR we received huge appreciations from our users.
