We\u2019ll start out with some of the basics of the business \u2013 background, idea state, etc. \u00a0Then we will get into the QC Fintech Accelerator program and his latest round of good news and what that does for the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our next podcast, we will circle back through and talk some about the personal experience of Cor the entrepreneur and Cor the CEO of Amicus. \u00a0In other words, I\u2019m slowly changing our format here. I hope you enjoy it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s podcast we cover some of the following: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you give us a little background information on what Amicus does? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on your LinkedIn profile, you\u2019ve been working on Amicus for almost two years. \u00a0When did the idea come to you though? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What did your wife (family) say when you told them of the project? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You choose to go through the QC Fintech Accelerator program in Spring 2017. \u00a0Why and what did you get out of it? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In what likely seemed like an eternity, it wasn\u2019t until late Spring in 2018 that you got some really positive news from the company? \u00a0Tell us about the Wells Fargo opportunity? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it mean for Amicus over the next 6-12 months and beyond? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you \u2018made it\u2019? \u00a0If not, what are the next key hurdles for you to clear? \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick around next week as we dive deeper into the conversation with Cor on both Amicus and his family. \u00a0It\u2019s worth the wait. <\/span><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fcharlotteangelconnection%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fcharlotteangelconnection%2FEP_60_Cor_Hoekstra-6_29_18_10_24_AM.mp3&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fwilliambissett.com%2F2018%2F06%2F29%2Fcharlotte-angel-connection-episode-060-cor-hoekstra-ceo-of-amicus-solutions%2F\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"138px\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/charlotteangelconnection\/content.blubrry.com\/charlotteangelconnection\/EP_60_Cor_Hoekstra-6_29_18_10_24_AM.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/williambissett.com\/?powerpress_pinw=778-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/charlotteangelconnection\/content.blubrry.com\/charlotteangelconnection\/EP_60_Cor_Hoekstra-6_29_18_10_24_AM.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"EP_60_Cor_Hoekstra-6_29_18_10_24_AM.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/feed\/podcast\/?mt=2&amp;ls=1\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_itunes\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Apple Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93aWxsaWFtYmlzc2V0dC5jb20vZmVlZC9wb2RjYXN0Lw\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_googleplay\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Google Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Google Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we have Cor Hoekstra joining us on the podcast. \u00a0Cor is the CEO of Amicus Solutions, a local Charlotte [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":781,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions\/781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williambissett.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
