As of right now, MeetingCaptain is in a state of transition.\u00c2\u00a0 We are going to look for ways to strip the product down to its bare essentials and pair it with an existing service so that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no longer a standalone startup.\u00c2\u00a0 Luckily, the WasabiVentures network of tech and productivity companies is fairly expansive, so it shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be too difficult to figure out a way to beneficially incorporate meeting organization\/execution software into one of them.<\/p>\n
The thought of merging what has been my first startup experiment with another product got me thinking: what was my favorite part of working on MeetingCaptain?\u00c2\u00a0 Honestly, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the blog.\u00c2\u00a0 Not only did I have the most fun writing it, I feel like there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some great information here just waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n
I spent a good amount of time looking for articles on meetings all over the internet during the past several months and I found few sources of information that condensed things the way I did here.\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, there was the occasional article that summarized a few ideas, but most \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meeting blogs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are just tech manuals and promotional venues for competing meeting programs — hardly a good resource for someone actually looking for help with their meetings.<\/p>\n
Since we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re working to preserve the core of MeetingCaptain because we believe it can be a useful utility to small companies who want to leverage technology for their meetings without breaking the bank to purchase software or upgrade their hardware, I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only fair that we also preserve the blog.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why I am going to turn it into a sort of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meetings mini-series\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on the WasabiVentures blog so that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s there and ready to used by the entrepreneurial community.<\/p>\n
Both the company and the blog will be on a bit of a hiatus starting now, although I will pop in with updates as often as possible.\u00c2\u00a0 I am determined to make this first foray into the world of the entrepreneur something of a success, even if it was mostly a learning experience that led to the creation of a halfway decent blog and an unfinished product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
