Eric Kanagy founded RedPost Inc., 124 E. Washington St., Goshen, in February.
“Traditionally, people post to bulletin boards, which are so over-crowded and poorly maintained that no one looks at them,” Kanagy said. “My company developed RedPost/Goshen to locate digital signs in prominent spots throughout the city, drawing attention to event announcements — all of which reaches a much wider group of people with information that they want to see in one spot.”
Local organizations, including Greencroft Retirement Communities, the Goshen Chamber of Commerce, Goshen College and the Community Sustainability Project, contributed to the RedPost/Goshen project.
RedPost Inc. will administer the system through a Web site, where artists, performers and event planners can upload posters and pay the $9 cost to display their poster across the system.
“Truly, one of the great things about Goshen, and in particular our downtown, is that we have young entrepreneurs creating creative products like RedPost,” said David Daugherty, president of the Goshen Chamber of Commerce.
Kanagy is a graduate of Goshen College and recipient of the 2003 Indiana Governor’s Award for Tomorrow’s Leaders. He worked at two startup companies — Transmeta, a microchip manufacturer based in San Jose, Calif., and M-CAM Inc., an intellectual property analytics company based in Charlottesville, Va. — before starting Everblue Media, a local video production company, in 2002.
