Welcome to SJF Ventures’ “Web-Enhanced Services” blog. This site will focus on sectors that tap into the power of the Web to connect businesses and consumers, producing an immense set of opportunities to transform old markets and provide real value and, in many cases, to create a positive impact on individuals and the environment. We will report on industry research and trends we observe in this sector, and will sometimes profile interesting companies.
