Show #122: Mark Smith and Adam Wride, founders of DigMyData

Mark and Adam

This week, Bob and Pat talk with Mark L. Smith and Adam Wride, founders of DigMyData. If you’re tired of amassing data about your startup instead of acting on it, DigMyData is a web service for you.

With DigMyData you can pull together the data threads of your startup into a meaningful, understandable, actionable picture. We talk with Mark and Adam about how DigMyData works, what it provides, how they came together to launch their startup and more.

And, Pat coins a new term: “Who’s your Peldi?”, after Peldi Guilizzoni, founder and CEO of Balsamiq, makers of Balsamiq Mockups and a key advisor to Mark and Adam.
