Meeting with Adam Heher

Date: 1/30

Background: FinOps, Global VP of Cloud Sales at Apptio

Notes

• Effectively a "here are some ideas" conversation
• Software for to-do lists for corporations
  • Larger corporations have "lost control" over their workforces due to remote work
  • Could use a tool to effectively communicate work to do
  • Proposed tool can scrape slack/email/personal calendars/ect. and effectively push a to-do list to the user
  • Allows for more productive time management for employees, and managers can be ensured that things that need to get done are being seen by employee
  • Since its corporate product, can include some monitoring software
  • Allows for employees to add own personal to-dos to the list
• "Brokerage" for internet/tv/streaming
  • Internet providers provide packages for users to get streaming services/other tv channels
  • Users only use a small subset of things they pay for usually
  • Finding a way to get what the user wants in a package through the ISP, instead of individually buying each product (i.e buying a netflix add-on through comcast vs just buying netflix independently) is mutually beneficial
• Cost/resource tracking for serverless cloud computing
  • Cloud computing servers/Kubernetes have systems where usage can be tracked, and cost of usage can be allocated accordingly
  • No such technology exists yet for serverless cloud computing
  • If we could be the first to get our foot in the door, immediate money maker
