Meet Omnidek and Sellswipe

As the tech industry evolves and matures, all sorts of new
opportunities are created for entrepreneurs, who see where
existing technologies don't meet a need or don't go far enough to
deliver what customers demand. If you listen to national shows
like "How I Built This" or Freakonomics, you're familiar with the
type of wildly creative person who doesn't take no for an answer
and comes up with a great idea that at the outset might seem odd
or impossible. Those kinds of ideas are not all born in Silicon
Valley. We have them here too. Meet Omnidek and Sellswipe, and
their creators, Chris Jordan and D. Marcus Glasper.


Chris Jordan's Omnidek is an all-in-one business platform geared
toward the construction industry that consolidates all the apps a
company needs to run its expense reports, payroll, project
management and so on, and merges them onto a single system.


Chris got the idea for this platform when, after several years
selling software to construction companies and realizing all the
inefficiencies of having multiple software systems, he was
watching a movie about the early years of Facebook s founding and
thought ,"If this dude can make 80 billion I can make 1 billion."
He's on the way.


D Marcus Glasper is Vice President of Sellswipe, a homegrown app
that allows its users to do a hyper local product search to find
items and businesses in their own communities so that they can
shop local and support the local economy. The app also provides a
platform that connects users with their friends so they can see
what their friends are buying, selling and recommending. It's a
social marketplace app in the truest sense of the word.


Out to Lunch Baton Rouge is recorded over lunch at Mansurs on the
Boulevard.
