> Something like this is sorely needed. Thanks for the vote of confidence! > Do all participants need to be using your software for anyone to benefit, or will I see the value by running it myself even if my coworkers aren't? Individuals could also benefit from this. For example, most corporate jobs have work to be done outside of meetings, and time blocking is very effective at reducing the overhead caused by context switching. Outside of work, we can promote work-life balance by helping you find time for family, friends, exercise, etc. > How will you prevent meetings from bouncing around my schedule multiple times a day? eg I thought I was meeting with Bob at 9am today, but as I'm driving to work your software rearranges my schedule to meet Bob at 4pm because he just got a slightly more optimal pairing with someone else at 9:15. So I arrive at work ready for a meeting and get annoyed that I didn't even need to be there yet, I could have made that stop at Starbucks after all. Too many days of this and people will stop using it. The last-minute reschedule is sure to result in a poor user experience, and it’s an area where user feedback would be hugely beneficial. Here’s a couple of our ideas: - Users can fix certain meetings; ie. once booked, they won’t be subject to rescheduling. - Constraints based on time: ex. no rescheduling of same-day or next-day meetings, or meetings where, if rescheduled, take place too far in the future. - Constraints based on participants: is anyone not using the calendaring system? Would it affect external customers? How hard was it to get the meeting in the first place? Is the meeting with your boss? Etc. > How will you make money? We would look to charge a recurring subscription fee for this, primarily as it is more transparent and least prone to perceived conflicts of interest. Every moment of a worker’s time has some associated cost, and if we can reduce the time wasted on scheduling ping-pong, and improve the use of available time, we believe we can quantify a value add.
