San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2008 -- Vator.tv, the online social network for technology startup companies, this week signed a multi-year licensing deal with ProQuest, the leading company specializing in educational microfilm and electronic publishing.

Under terms of the agreement, ProQuest will distribute Vator.tv's video interviews with veteran entrepreneurs primarily to colleges and universities across the United States in exchange for revenue share. The initial phase of the partnership will include growing-library of interviews from Vator.tv's "Lessons Learned" series, giving advice on running a startup, raising funds or when it's time to sell a company.

"We're excited that universities and college students will be looking to Vator resources as a way to learn about entrepreneurship," said Bambi Francisco, co-founder and CEO of Vator.tv.
