Ermarie

Sharing our progress at demo night in June 2016

My goal : To allow educators to focus on being an educator by creating a platform to simplify the professional learning documentation and licensure process.

My solution: Participate in Startup Weekend Edu, create a program, and share with the world. Then, branch off for other professions that document learning.

End Result: Two years of hard work, experience as a cofounder of a startup, international team work, interaction with 400 active users, the hard decision to call this a good experience and move on .. for now.. and much more!

Startup Weekend

Journey of the Name

Going into startup weekend I name it KeepEdu (Changed in order to grow outside of education)
While at startup weekend it changed to DigiDocs (We discovered this was already taken)
After startup weekend it changed to Ermarie (Cabinet in Greek)

Team Ermarie

During startup weekend we had a team of people building Ermarie. After startup weekend Syeed and I continued to build and share Ermarie. Learn more about Syeed Siddique. We were lucky enough to have an intern, Dave Blanchard, for a short time!

Now What?

Syeed and I made the decision to shut down Ermarie for the time being and continue on with our careers. He is currently building Foqas .
