Brandon White started his career from his passion for fishing. In doing so, he wound up building the largest social networking and eCommerce site for sport fisherman. He got to travel around the world, fish all over, and do some amazing things with this company. But honestly, he got burned out on the sports and doesn’t fish much anymore. He tells people today to be careful today when people are following their passion, because romanticizing a career doesn’t work out for everyone. And, just because people aren’t overly passionate about something – but are good at it – they should go after anyway, to help them to buy their time for their passions.

The genesis of Brandon’s current venture started with his wife, who manages a family office. At one point, she was switching accountants, which required the transfer of a massive amount of documents… the bulk of which was in email. He thought that there had to be a better way to find these documents, across accounts in the cloud.
