Description:

WeGoWeGo is a semantic search platform for nightlife and cultural events. We launched in Toronto in Aug 2009.

Here are some highlights from the past few months:

* We had over 10,000 unique visitors come to the site since the launch in August (95% organic)
* We have tripled our monthly visitors traffic
* We hit 1200 daily page views just before year-end
* We completed a research study with the Humber College PR Program that helped us shape the next phase of WeGoWeGo.com.

We are seeking a Lead Developer (CTO) but most importantly a partner who will take the working BETA (http://wegowego.com) and help us launch it within North America within the next 12 months.
