For those of you who know me, you know I like to do my fair share of traveling around the globe. For years, I would succumb to the online travel sites who claim to know the ins and outs of every hotel on the planet, and can get the best deals for flights, car rentals, hotels, and the like. What is missing in these websites is personality, and one-on-one attention. I don’t think that little traveling gnome knows that I prefer to “rough it” when I travel, but enjoy certain little luxuries as well.
A little less than a year ago, I met Jennifer Coltrin (manager, leisure business development) and David de L’Arbre (owner) of Santa Barbara Travel Bureau. They have been wonderful to work with. In many cases, when I thought I was getting a good deal by shopping online [click to continue…]

Greetings. I’m Matthew Burgess, founder of SBE and Blogger-in-Chief.
When I started this blog last October, my plan was to create a site that would highlight the entrepreneurial spirit of Santa Barbara and the surrounding community by writing about the companies and entrepreneurs that I’ve met.
In my work, I’ve had a chance to meet some incredibly bright and driven entrepreneurs, and I’m blown away by the vibrancy of the business community in Santa Barbara. Not just the startups, but the ecosystem that services and supports business: angel networks, venture capital, accounting firms, law firms, IT and technology development firms, marketing experts, and so much more.
This site–SBEntrepeneur–is not a business. It was set up as a fun side project, often attended to between the hours of midnight and 2 am, after long days of working on building my business. I wasn’t sure how often I’d have to update it, but I saw it as an opportunity to give something back to the community that has been so welcoming to me and my wife, Shana, as well as to my business.
Well…Sixty-some blog posts and forty-some Events Calendar entries later, it’s taking on some life and has become a lot of fun. Michael Neville, who I’m sure many of you know, is my partner in this project. And we’ve recently brought on Emily Throckmorton to write, research, and help with social media marketing.
We’re excited about what lies ahead for SBE.
Our next push will be to follow through on the original vision: writing more frequently about great companies and their hard-working founders and leaders.
Many companies have submitted [click to continue…]
