We Did It

GetSpeedBack has been accepted to the FAU Tech Runway Venture Program.

When I saw this email I felt such a wave of relief. This is something we’ve been working on for months–filling out the application, creating business documents, and networking our asses off. It is incredible validation.

We started on this idea four-ish months ago. To have gotten it this far, now working with an incubator/accelerator, is unbelievable.

I’m so grateful for all the people who gave us advice, documents, decks, to help get us here.

We’re ready to get going!

        We're a platform that simplifies the employee performance review process which in turn has added benefits to the employees and business.

          Nice idea. From what I have experienced performance reviews are painful.

            Thanks @papertrail! What was the most painful part for you?

              This was my experience in fairly large corporate environments. Usually done long after the fact, a lot of copy and pasting from spreadsheets. The processes were also fairly lengthy and complex - first goal setting then having to find those old goal setting sheets, the goals had to be set in line with corporate values that never made sense and then the process of completing the next lot of spreadsheets for evaluation.

                Totally understand - wow that's crazy manual! Yeah we found that each manager spends the equivalent of weeks each year on performance evaluations so if we're able to minimize that time then it will be a huge savings for that individual as well as the business in general. Thanks so much for sharing!
