Practical Magic – ccGenie Turns Email Into The Work Tool We’ve Always Wanted
Summary
Like ccGenie, which is based in the Silicon Valley with a technical team stationed in Paris, he’s spent half of his business career in the U.S. though his roots are in France. His passions include rock climbing and paragliding, somewhat risky sports that “put you out of your comfort zone pretty quickly.” Defying gravity helps him keep the risks of starting up in perspective – for himself and for investors! ccGenie is a single platform for the organization of email conversation threads, content, links, contacts, file sharing, and overall project management. Once an account is setup, the user simply creates different “workspace rooms.” It’s within these “rooms” that the respective emails, links, and attachments are automatically extracted, organized, and filed for a focused collaboration among friends, family, or colleagues. And then when I quit IBM after my two years, I started to invest in a number of startups, and started to work from home, working a lot more with emails, Skype, social networks, file sharing, etc., on multiple projects across different organizations… It’s impossible to ask, to have everybody using one specific application, the same project management tool, or the same file-sharing application.
