How can attending a high end workshop on a staid subject like Corporate Governance lead to an exciting web startup in Sacramento?
Ask Jim Schraith, a noted local angel investor and venture partner with DFJ Frontier! Jim was attending such a workshop last year and thought there had to be a better way of doing board self evaluations. So he founded and bootstrapped BoardEvals.com together with Layton Wedgeworth and Bob Bennett, in the summer of 2008. The product launched earlier this year and they are now seeing an accelerated pace of client sign ups in the corporate and non-profit world.
What do they do? They provide a set of web-based tools that help organizations perform more efficient, effective and thorough board evaluations. BoardEvals replaces the ad-hoc, manual processes used by most organizations today with a standardized, automated board evaluation process that saves time and expenses, while at the same time improving corporate governance practices.
