Ever been in a meeting and wonder where the time went? Wish you could take back that rambling story that sparked a side debate that ate up 30 extra minutes?
NewFoundry thinks it has an answer for you.
The Ann Arbor-based firm, it's based just north of downtown overlooking the Huron River, just release
Ramblehook, a mobile app that helps organizers take back control of meetings. It allows the user to list the agenda items, presenters, and time allotted for each topic.
"We're trying to reign in all of the side discussions that eat up meetings," says Richard Chang, partner & CEO of NewFoundry.
Chang is a alumnus of
Mobiata, a software startup that made travel-oriented apps that was acquired by Expedia. He helped launched NewFoundry a year ago. Today it employs a dozen people who handle a variety of work ranging from mobile app development to industrial design.
NewFoundry's came up with the idea for Ramblehook to help keep its own internal meetings on track. It is currently working on a couple of other ideas for apps.
"We are looking at launching a few more apps in the next six months," Chang says.
