Building Tech - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

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. But taking a good idea and developing it
into the latest app one that works and then getting customers to
buy it is a challenge that kills a lot of enterprising start ups
before they get off the ground. Chris Jordan is the founder of
Omnidek, 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." 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. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by
