TRANSCRIPT Dave: Welcome to Jumpstart, I am your host Dave Bellini. My guest today is Michael Brody-Waite, co-founder and CEO at in InQuicker. Hey Michael, how are you? Michael: Good, how are you doing? Dave: I am great. Thanks for joining me today. So tell me a little bit about InQuicker, what is it that you guys do? Michael: So inquicker.com is essentially an online tool that allows patients to skip the waiting room by checking it online for the closest Emergency Room, Urgent Care Center, or a Physician’s office. Dave: That’s amazing. So you log into the site and you go ahead and just book. You pre-sched— is this something you— well if it’s an emergency, I guess. How does that work exactly? Michael: So, really good question. When we started, we actually started in the emergency room space. And for the emergency room component what you do is you check-in online and then you’re virtually waiting, so instead of spending time in the waiting room, you’re waiting from home. Dave: Oh, that’s great. Michael: And then for the urgent care centers and the doctor’s office it’s a true static appointment. But the point is really, you don’t have to know which one, you can just check-in for all three, from your phone. And then by the time you show up to any of those, we’ll be ready for it. Dave: Is it browser-based or do you have an application? Michael: We actually invested, how do we— in making it browser-based. Thirty or 40% of our users right now are bubble because we don’t believe this type of service is served well through the aid of application. Dave: Sure. Michael: Forrester actually published a report recently that said 6% of the apps on people’s phones is health care and wellness. | 3/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

I really appreciate the time. So tell us a little bit about MusicMarketing.com. What is it that you do? David: Well Music Marketing is part of my company. I’m actually a marketing guy. And Music Marketing is something that I have because I used to be musician. And this is really the first kind of niche that I got into professionally.

And people know me for music and that’s what I market myself as here but we’ve got everything from Alzheimer’s to Christian books and Christian content to, I mean who knows… Dave: Yeah. David: Little bitty niches and that’s what I love about my job is because it enables me to get into minds of different audiences and find out how they think. And I think that’s something that’s really special because it, I think it makes me a better person, you know, learning about different types of people. Dave: These areas… are these things that you decide to focus on before or did like a client come along? David: You know what, at this point I’d like to have skin in the skin and play with my own money because I find that it makes it a whole lot more exciting… Dave: Uh-huh David: - to me. Now it wasn’t always that way but basically what we do is we look for… Well I’ll just ask you a question, like if you wanted to sell… You had a hamburger stand, okay? | 9/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jumpstart theme song “DLDN Instrumental (ft. Onlymeith, Mellotroniac)” by: St. Paul from ccMixter. TRANSCRIPT Dave: Welcome to Jumpstart. I am your host Dave Delaney. My guest today is Jason Moore, Founder and CEO of Stratasan. Hey Jason, how are you doing? Jason: Hey Dave, thanks for having me today. Dave: Thanks for coming I really appreciate it. Tell me a little bit about Stratasan, what is it that you do? Jason: Stratasan provides advance data analytics around healthcare data and other market data such as demographics, psychographics, and being cloud base we can bring in various data sets to help people answer questions about a marketplace around healthcare. So in the end we provide cloud base applications on top of all that data. Basically remove the data processing work from our client base so that they can get back to making strategic decisions around their market instead of haggling with the data. Dave: That’s smart. How long have you been doing it now? Jason: We sought to launch the company in fall of 2010. Then we started bringing on customers that’s kind of like one of those quotation mark customers. Dave: Air quotes. Jason: Yeah air quote customers. In the early part of January of 2011, those weren’t really our target customers as far as our long term target customers but they had a need and some money and we had need for their money. Dave: Right. Jason: So we took them on. Really we brought on a series, a round of funding in May and that’s really when we really ramped up and launched the company then. Dave: And I also noticed recently just last Friday that the Nashville Business Journal listed you as one of the Forty Under 40 people? Jason: Yes, they did. Dave: Pretty cool. Jason: Yeah that’s very cool. It’s always cool to see yourself in print and I kind of made some good ball answers but that’s kind of my personality. So it’s always interesting to see people’s reactions to those. Dave: That’s funny. At what point in your career did you recognized the entrepreneurial bug biting you and that you want to do something yourself? Jason: That was quite awhile ago. I’m still under 40 as the article alludes to. But I started my first company about 11 years ago. Myself and two friends, one friend that I’ve known since elementary school and the other guy we actually met in college. We started a company called bigWebApps which was a web based software company well before the term software is a service and cloud were around. But we were a fully hosted nothing to install Application Company in 2000. We grew that business for over 10 years. | 8/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
