In Mike Silver's 20-year IT career and the 10 years he spent working with a non profit to restore a camp that had been vacant for 10 years, he witnessed significant waste and systemic inefficiencies in purchasing. He saw how many camps and and non profits struggled financially, not from lack of vision, but from limited access to strategic purchasing power. It was this desire to see businesses and non profits alike thrive that motivated him to start The Buying Networks in 2008, when it was needed most.
