• My first big attempt at founding a SaaS startup. Learned a LOT! Made mistakes, met some amazing people, and now know what to do and what not to do when creating a SaaS company.
• HyperCarrot® was an employee engagement and recognition SaaS platform to maximize employee + customer engagement, revenue, and impact.
• During my journey I recruited an all-star leadership team; a veteran sales leader in the contact center industry and the former Chairman/President/CEO of Ruby Tuesday Restaurants. I also created a dynamic advisory board; the former CEO of a large Contact Center BPO and the NY Times Bestselling Author of “The Carrot Principle”. I sold my vision and was able to raise capital from friends/family to take it from an idea on a napkin to a functioning MVP.
