John Schnipkoweit (left), the co-founder and now former CTO of Ovation Networks in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has gone full-time with an idea he first pitched at Startup Weekend Iowa City in October. And he's not alone.
"I've sold all of my shares in Ovation Networks to my co-founder," Schnipkoweit said in an email interview on Friday. "There are three of us that are going ahead on RecBob full-time and two going part-time."
Schnipkoweit, who's taken on the role of CEO, said RecBob is bootstrapping but that he has a goal to raise seed capital by July. He and his team are currently working out of Vault, a coworking space in Cedar Rapids.
