We captured Ian on a Vancouver rooftop in this exclusive fundfindr.tv interview and his insights included what you need to know about raising money in Canada vs. Silicon Valley - he’s done both. Ian conceived, branded and launched EQO, that allowed mobile communities to connect seamlessly. He has contributed to nearly a dozen disruptive technology startups including: BuzMe.com, RingCentral, the Microsoft acquired FrontBridge, Geekmail, VOXEO, eVoice and Helix. He also authored the 1997 book “HTML Studio Skills.”
More recently he started up Something Simpler which is a mantra he uses in both his work and his life. He says it’s harder than it looks to keep things simple. Something Simpler was recently selected for “Best Early Stage” award at the Canadian Financing Forum; and Ian was touted as one of Vancouver’s “Digital Media people to watch in 2008.” Check out some of the cool new projects Something Simpler is working on: RosterBot and Pulse. Watch Weston Triemstra demo the Pulse Facebook application.
