Tell us about your business/concept.
Experitix connects people to special moments. It's events, donations, and scheduling - made EASY.
What are the roots for the idea and why does the world need it?
Experitix started as an idea for a digital ticket solution for high school sporting events. Now, Experitix handles the needs of small to complex organizations in managing all of their events, fundraising, and scheduling on a single platform, that streamlines the communication to the end user - reducing complexity, and providing a single end point for their consumer. All in all, it makes things easier. Who doesn't need that?!
What attracted you to the I91´óÉñBATOR? Why is it a good fit for you/your idea?
I had heard great things about the I91´óÉñBATOR and had some friends who urged me to apply. It is a great fit for me because I'm a College of Informatics Alum and they have great connections with the community who also shares experience in similar ventures as mine.
How did the I91´óÉñBATOR help you bring your idea to life?
Through the classroom discussion, the 1:1 mentoring, the connections to the community, and the weekly assignments, we went through the right exercises at the right times to help take it from an idea to a well thought out solution that with a real product/market fit.
What is the most important lesson you learned on your journey?
When I came in on day 1, I thought I had a great idea. Working through the rigor and processes of the I91´óÉñBATOR really tested my idea. The original concept is still in the product, but the overall vision has changed and been refined. I am now more confident than ever that Experitix is solving a real problem for people. Had I developed my whole solution without the I91´óÉñBATOR I probably wouldn't have had the right product - one that people need and want to use. I would have just had a product that I thought people needed, but that no one would use. That's the big difference.
