This is Charles, founder of ChatBuddies. In his senior year of college, his friend vented about something that had been plaguing her: customers were messaging her, day and night, with inane requests that sapped her time and energy.

The second she told him, the gears started turning, and he knew he needed to provide her with a solution capable of easing her woes. With a new degree in programming, he knew he was up to the task and started coding. He wanted to help his friend because of how stressed she was, and that’s why he wants to help you too.

Today, ChatBuddies has saved thousands of hours and dollars, and an immeasurable amount of stress, for small business owners all over the United States.
