Instigator Blog

My name is Benjamin Yoskovitz. I’m the CEO & co-Founder of Standout Jobs, a venture-backed startup founded in 2007. I’m also a blog and social media consultant that can help you take your blogging and Web marketing to the next level. Although I do less and less consulting these days, feel free to get in touch.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 10+ years in the Web space, working extensively in web & software development. I’m obsessed with creating things; fundamentally that’s what entrepreneurs do — they create “stuff.” I’m also obsessed with customer service.

Blogging provides me a way of expressing my thoughts on startups, entrepreneurship and business, as well as diving into social media, blogging and online communities. It’s a great way to build relationships and maintain contact with friends and colleagues all over the world.

I’m located in Montreal, Quebec Canada.

A few quick facts:

• I started blogging in early 2006, and really didn’t know what I was doing. It’s been a crash course ever since. I’d like to think I learned a thing or two, but feel free to tell me otherwise.
• I have two sons. And an absurdly patient wife.
• I’m growing less and less fond of Montreal winters. California, anyone?
• I learned more in 2007 about business and startups than I had in all the years prior. It was an insane year.
• I tend to write on a variety of topics, so things bounce around a little. But variety is the spice of life, right?
• I’m addicted to my Blackberry (sad, but true.)
• I never have less than 10 chat windows open at any given time.
