The “A” List
Re: Angie Hicks (MBA 2000)
Topics: Communication-GeneralBusiness Ventures-Business StartupsTechnology-Internet
Started in 1995 in Columbus, Ohio, by Angela Hicks (MBA ’00), Angie’s List is a consumer-driven report card on numerous local services (plumbers, car mechanics, and moving companies, not to mention solar panels and Christmas decorating) in 56 American cities. List members, who pay to receive fellow consumers’ evaluations, include some 425,000 homeowners. Company revenues should hit $14 million this year. “Companies don’t pay to be on the list,” Hicks told the Washington Post (July 13, 2006). “You can only give one report on a given company once every six months. You can’t stack the deck.”
