Everest, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Startups, and more
Join me tonight for another happy hour with…
Tim Roberts, CEO, Founder at TipTags
Founder and CEO of TipTags, Tim has worked with startup companies in transportation, technology and entertainment his entire career.
Other startup highlights include:
Creating the business plan for ISHAR, a non-profit subsidiary of the Chopra Foundation;
taking Silicon Valley startup Pandoodle Corporation from zero revenue to profitability in a year;
creating a partnership to develop new attractions at Tokyo and Orlando Disneyland; and developing new business lines for leading game developer Say Design.
Tim began his career as an aviation analyst for R2A Consulting and assisted in developing air service for major airlines, local and national governments, and in providing due diligence for leading investment banks. Moving from air transport to entertainment, Tim was successful as an actor, writer and producer. His work included branding efforts for Silicon Valley companies, including start-ups Transmeta (NASDAQ IPO), Network Alchemy (Nokia acquisition), and serving Apple as OS8 spokesman when Steve Jobs made his return to the company.
Outside of work, Tim has been part of two major expeditions to the Himalaya, including the Everest Friendship Beyond Borders Expedition, which got Nawang Sherpa to the summit, the first person to summit Everest with an artificial leg. His experience organizing mountaineering expeditions led directly to the creation of TipTags.
About TipTags
The TipTags mobile platform enables ANYONE to create, share and access hyper-local information about really ANYTHING, harnessing the power of granular, local knowledge to aid decision-making in real-time. This could include everything from text and photos to links and contact information.
So, despite social-distancing and stay-in-home orders, the goal is to actually bring neighbors closer together by giving people a way to map and share first-hand knowledge about their local situation. That means YOUR Tags can help others navigate everything from testing locations to where to find PPE or even up-to-the-minute grocery availability…and vice-versa.
Creating even more urgency is our concern about recent neighborhood unrest across the country as well as the upcoming Hurricane, Tornado & Fire seasons bringing the potential for disaster-forced evacuations and a potential 2nd wave of the coronavirus.
