Matthew Slutsky is president and co-founder of the Toronto-based Web startup BuzzBuzzHome (www.buzzbuzzhome.com).

BuzzBuzzHome is an online and map-based listing service for new condominiums, homes and townhouses. The site launched in early 2009 and it has quickly grown to more than 30,000 visitors per month, actively searching for new homes. Mr. Slutsky first conceived of the idea while working as VP development for a Toronto land-developer/builder, and he became frustrated with the lack of a publicly accessible online listings of all new residential developments.

BuzzBuzzHome provides users with a social-media-driven 'virtual hangout' for each new project called 'the hive,' and a game-based editable wiki where users collect points by contributing content to the site.

Three things on Mr. Slutsky's mind:

1. As a Web-based company, how to maintain our edge on a rapidly evolving Internet.

2. How to remain true to our core business model and vision, while maintaining growth and engaging new technologies and ideas.

3. How to recruit, train and manage computer engineers when I cannot code a thing.
