Overview
In this episode, I got to chat with the coolest duck around, Andrew Cross, Founder & CEO of Goosechase. If you remember, when the show started in February of 2021, I interviewed Joe Denomme and Eric Chiang from the fab Goosechase team on Episode 7. Now, we get a much-needed update on all the quackest happenings around Goosechase town, including some fabulous insights on product development & four - day work weeks. If you don't know about and use this fantastic tool, then it’s definitely time to grab those headphones and tune - into Episode 64 to learn all about Goosechase! Oh and be sure to check out their pretty, new logo, it's so cool!
More About Andrew, in his own words
I am the Co-founder and CEO of Goosechase, the world's first - and best! - interactive experience platform.
My academic background is in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada. In my last year of university, I was accepted into Velocity, the University of Waterloo’s Entrepreneurship Residence. Goosechase was born a few weeks into the final term at a Hackathon on campus.
We built the platform for the weekend, and afterward, we were bombarded with questions about when it would be ready for launch. The idea grew and now we’re here!
