How can entrepreneurs learn from deep wisdom and build startups with soul?

Geedra is designed to enable large construction firms to manage the many thousands of job-site photos that are taken at every stage of the building process. With signed commitments from a number of firms, including Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc., they knew they were onto something big. The problem was, they were having a very hard time finding a shop that was up to the technological challenge. To make Geedra’s vision a reality we had to create entirely new technologies involving artificial intelligence, photo recognition, and advanced database design.

The founders of Snackdish had an idea for a game-changing online service but the technology to make it simply did not exist. Snackdish wanted to create an entirely new and better way for communities to connect and interact in real time about their favorite TV programs, concerts and sporting, and news events. To make their dream reality required a level of social media integration that had never been achieved before. After researching dozens of dev shops, it became clear that Conceivian was the only one that could make it happen. For Snackdish, Conceivian created a full, interactive, multimedia website built on top of and integrated with the Facebook API. Soon after, Snackdish launched and sparked an exciting integration of live media combined with social media.

We started working with Jobfully before it even had a name, back when it was just a great idea in the founder’s head. From that point, we helped recruit the core team, test and prove the business model and refine and improve the idea. We then designed the full feature set, look and feel, and initial launch strategy. Complete with personalized coaching with a highly trained career coach, and customizable learning management system, Jobfully focuses on areas where the interviewee needs help. Now Jobfully is changing the game in the highly competitive online job search market.

The founders of Comient came to us with a great idea that could make a huge impact on the heavily saturated commercial real estate rental market. But they had no idea if it was even technologically possible. We brought together the Conceivian Team to brainstorm all the critical aspects and after a fair amount of discussion and research, we determined that, yes, this is possible and we can do it and do it exceptionally well. In just a few months, we created groundbreaking web and mobile software that could successfully pull data from a vast variety of sources and integrate it in a way that customers could easily use. Comient aims to change the way companies find and lease commercial real estate.

The founders of OurTownZip had an exceptionally clear vision of what they needed: an entirely new form of hyper-local commerce that directly connected local communities with their neighborhood businesses. We needed to create a comprehensive set of online services that assisted local businesses while giving their customers an easier, more appealing and more useful way to connect with them. This is exactly the kind of project we love: technologically challenging with the potential to make a powerful impact. For OurTownZip we created a seamless web and mobile experience based on the concept of “virtual storefronts” that combined geospatial technology, personal CRM, and full social media integration.
