Travis Outreach Meeting Notes

Glenn Reid - Creator of iMovie/iPhoto, Multi-time founder, Fractional CTO

• When creating a product, find out who is motivated to make the project successful
• Potential idea spaces to explore: Shoplifting (i.e San Fran), Sociological issues (where big foundations invest money), Coordinating workforces with employers, Commercial real-estate vacancies
• Big emphasis on supply chain
  • Demand forecasting for "bank run" type events
  • Secondary marketplaces for industrial/specific tech products, when companies overbuy, they may need to offload, we would create that marketplace
  • Figure out where supply chain has failed from the pandemic

Adam Heher - FinOps,

• 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
