Software developer and entrepreneur Chris Dix founded Thoughtpost five years ago as a vehicle to market his software consulting work. He worked with entities across a large range of industries ranging from NASA to vending machine operators to finance firms.
Then last year, he had an idea for his own product and went through some customer discovery during the Charlotte Venture Challenge. Though he uncovered some weaknesses in his initial idea, the customers that he spoke with during the process shared that they had two major concerns they were trying to address.
“They wanted to be able to provide more unique features to their customers and engage with them better. However, the cost of software development, especially mobile application development, for their small businesses was too expensive and too risky,” says Dix
