Redbeacon is a revolutionary new approach to finding local services through the Internet. At www.redbeacon.com, consumers request everyday services and receive price quotes from qualified local service providers. After comparing price quotes, business profiles, credentials, ratings and reviews, consumers can select and schedule appointments online with the service provider they like best. The product was created by three seasoned Internet veterans from Google, Ethan Anderson, Yaron Binur and Aaron Lee, who saw the need to improve online local search. Redbeacon took top prize at the prestigious TechCrunch50 Conference in September 2009.
