Show #139: Edwin Siebesma, MeetingKing

Edwin Siebesma

Bob and Pat talk with Edwin Siebesma about his startup, MeetingKing.

MeetingKing is a web app for planning, creating and coordinating meetings and the tasks that come out of meetings. Edwin has a unique perspective on building a startup today – having been president of one of the most successful desktop-era startups ever – WinZip.

Edwin has been there, done that and is now back for round 2 – and shares his insights on just how much has changed.
