With so much sales and marketing happening in online spaces, companies more and more are craving to deliver 3D and AR experiences for their customers. Wondering what that couch will look like in your living room? Hold up your phone, and an app will visually place it there.   

Want to see that sneaker in a full 360 radius? Just spin it to get a full view. The problem is that software platforms that deliver these experiences need files that aren’t used by most design teams.   

Ashley Crowder set out to find a solution, which eventually became her company, Vntana. In this edition of UpTech Report, Ashley discusses the Vntana product, which helps content teams quickly and easily bridge the gap between their product designs and interactive experiences for customers.

Not having the financial resources to hire the best talent can actually be a great thing. Bring in young talent and nurture a relationship that will grow with you year to year, and possibly even company to company.   

This is an insight Jeremy Levy learned after decades in entrepreneurship. His clients were Disney, Staples, and Old Navy. His companies were sold to Match.com and IBM. And his talent stayed with him.   

Today his team at Indicative develops an automated customer analytics platform, and he credits them with the success of his business.

Having an email address is as essential as having a home address. If you want to buy a product, take out a loan, apply for a job, or even just post a photo of your vacation, you need an email address.   

And yet, unlike your residential address, your email address exposes you to a torrent of unwanted solicitations, notifications, requests, updates, appeals, advisories, and you get the idea. It’s turned a solution into a major problem for most people. Hatel Pandya set out to turn this problem back into a solution with her company, Edison, which offers a two-pronged approach: Their email client, Edison Mail, and their email service, OnMail.   

In this edition of UpTech Report, Hatel discusses why she believes these solutions will again make email a useful tool instead of a headache.  

In part one of my conversation with Sean McCreanor, the co-founder and CEO of Assignar, he talked about his project management solution specially tailored for the construction industry.

He also offers some thoughts on how developing the right hiring technique helped lay the groundwork for their current success.

Keeping employees connected and informed is essential to a healthy and productive workforce. But today, with so many people working remotely, generating a feeling of community in the workplace is an increasing challenge.   

In this edition of UpTech Report, Bill Boebel discusses his search for a quality solution, which eventually led him to create his own. The results are Pingboard, a social networking and communications system that’s now used by over 350,000 employees across the world.

In part one of my conversation with Garin Hess, the founder and CEO of Consensus, he talked about his product that dynamically assembles sales demos based on the needs and interest of the prospective client.   

In this second part of our conversation, Garin tells us about one lecture in college that inspired him to become an entrepreneur, forever altering the course of his life. He also tells the story of his early failures—and how they led to his current success.

In part one of my conversation with Nitzan Shapira, the co-founder and CEO of Epsagon, he talked about his automated analytics solution for companies using distributed, cloud-based systems.   

In this second part of our conversation, Nitzan talks more about his personal story, including his experience working for Israeli intelligence and how that led him to start his own company. He also gives some insights on how to overcome the fear of acquiring funding.

Typically, if you want to gain sophisticated insights into your marketing and sales data, you’d need data scientists and engineers to custom code a solution.   

This can be expensive and time-consuming. But Jeremy Levy wants to make it unnecessary with his company, Indicative.   

In this edition of UpTech Report, Jeremy talks about Indicative’s product, which offers an automated customer analytics platform specifically designed for product managers, marketers, and data analysts.
