Bio

2X tech startup founder / musician / podcaster / runner / perpetual innovator / husband + dad. Right now, I have just launched my new startup, UpdateZen (www.UpdateZen.com) to BETA. UpdateZen is a new way for executives to stay updated. Your team distills status updates to 250 characters so you see only what's absolutely essential for you to know. In one beautiful interface. UpdateZen includes lightweight task management (featherweight, really) to complement simple status reporting from your people. The net benefit is far greater efficiency and productivity, more time to focus on what you need to focus on, and the comfort of always knowing what's going on across your team's projects.

We're creating a mission-critical hospital communication system. Given its our startup's 1st app, how do we convince Execs we'll be around in 12mths?

Having built a mission-critical hospital communication system for eight years in my first startup (LiveProcess, which is still going strong) prior to my new startup (Updated.io), I would be remiss if I didn't caution you to go into this space. Convincing execs that you'll be around in a year is but one hurdle you will encounter along the way... there are more stakeholders in the buying process within hospitals' mission-critical communication platforms than you can shake a stick at. Committee after committee, IT obstacle after IT obstacle, entrenched legacy systems that are glued to many stakeholders, nurses, doctors, safety officers, security personnel, and on and on and on... each sets up its own roadblock for you to get into the daily workflow of a hospital. Good luck in this space, but it is NOT for the feint of heart!
