Today we welcome Curtis Watkins, CEO of BovaMetrics, to the Charlotte Angel Connection. Curtis joined BovaMetrics in September 2017 to help drive the company growth as it moves from the early stages of development.
BovaMetrics is a young fintech company in Charlotte targeting wealth managers with an augmented intelligence solution. It was developed as a proprietary model designed to capture opportunities and add value in a client’s existing portfolio – in essence merging an advisor’s knowledge of the client with an artificial intelligence platform.
For the Part I of the podcast I wanted to cover some of the following with Curtis:
What brought Curtis to where he is today? In essence, what experience did he have that BovaMetrics was seeking?
Given his past experience of starting CLT Joules while he worked at Duke Energy, what did he learn from a big company about innovation that can be brought to a young startup?
What is BovaMetrics and how did it come into existence?
How are they going to start finding customers for BovaMetrics?
How long will beta customers be on board for before they launch the full product?
How different is the beta testing and development phase of a company today from 2001 when Curtis launched his first startup?
What is downside to being able to be too nimble today versus the environment in 2001?
Listen in next week for Part II with Curtis as we discuss entrepreneurship and more about BovaMetrics.
