Termetrice Gibbons

HOUSTON- Termetrice Gibbons was born into a family of child care entrepreneurs. But this MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneurs Series and Business Plan Competition grand prize winner took things a step further, using her passion for education to launch a completely new business concept. Enter Excel Assistance, an online marketplace linking educational professionals around the United States and the world who want to network and exchange products and services.

Gibbons’ business focuses on educational vendors and suppliers of the industry’s national associations and organizations who want a convenient and economical way to purchase or sell their new, used and overstocked items. Through Excel Assistance’s Web site (www.excelassist.com), they’re able to list, sell and auction off equipment, merchandise, freelance services and management assistance, as well as network with other professionals in their field. Excel Assistance membership is free, and leads are generated by Excel members. They can post professional service requests and advertise their products and capabilities, and wait for other members to bid on these services and products and submit proposals.
