CareCheq is a start-up with one of the most valuable of commodities, paying customers.
The 1-year-old firm is creating technology that offers clear and efficient channels of communication people taking care of elderly patients. It allows users to create profiles and groups that can be edited and made private. Stepaniak points out that things like Facebook aren't exactly compliant with health-care regulations.
"We made a lot of progress," says Dennis Stepaniak, CFO of
CareCheq. "There is a long ways to go but we are much better with the platform."
CareCheq currently has six employees which are handling the demands and needs for a handful of customers (he declined to name them). The start-up is building out its platform to fit the needs of these initial customers with the hope it will lead to many more within the next year.
"The biggest potential play we have is to get in with bigger players and license the product to them," Stepaniak says. "That's what our first three customers have been all about."
