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!

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!
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 .
