Description

So a Human Resources director and a farmer walk into a bar.  Sounds like the start of a great joke, but it is the true story of an AI based video tech firm with an international reach that started right here in Wichita, Kansas.   Mike Mathia and Jason Toevs, co-founders of Quicc, join hosts Don and Ebony to explore everything from starting out with heavy involvement to investors and pivoting into new opportunities amid explosive growth.  On this episode we discuss:

• The evolving vision around helping others create content
• Dealing with buyers and investors too early
• Trying to scale a new business while also educating the market
• Pivoting into new opportunities with automatic video captioning
• Massive growth with the company pivot
• How customers struggle to keep the right content in front of their audience
• Seeing ahead and moving beyond a commoditized service to stand apart from the industry
• What scares them about being a start-up in Wichita
• Being a part of the next wave of video and enabling fast development in content creation
• Saying yes to the conversation
• What keeps companies and talent from wanting to stay in Wichita
