About Blazetrak 

Since its launch in November of 2009, Blazetrak has become the web’s premier platform for opportunity and direct access in the entertainment industry – a model that is quickly changing the way talent is discovered.  Blazetrak provides direct access to a roster of celebrity professionals and industry experts in the areas of: music, fashion, tv/film, sports, business & lifestyle.   Users are able to browse these professionals and the various opportunities they are offering, and can submit to their pro of choice (for a fee) and in return, they receive GUARANTEED VIDEO FEEDBACK directly from their chosen pro.    For the pros, this is a way to monetize the act of finding new talent for upcoming projects and to monetize the act of dispensing valuable feedback & advice (think of it as the new era of consulting).  For the users, this is a way to invest in themselves and their careers, by gaining access to key decision makers who would normally be inaccessible to the ‘average joe’, and to gain invaluable insight on their careers/dreams/goals, and in some cases the chance of the lifetime.
