Memria helps companies harness the power of voice to capture and share feedback and experiences through audio and text, at a scale otherwise impossible to manage manually.
Louis Bickford, Ph.D, Founder & CEO - Louis has 15 years of leadership experience at the Ford Foundation, Robert F Kennedy Center for Human Rights, and as a founding staff member at The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ).
Louis chose to work with FT because he needed a firm that would be a true thought-partner as well as an executional partner for product and engineering. He was looking to fill a technical co-founder role, but knew he would need a team that could translate his many years of domain expertise into a digital product that solves real problems. FT was a perfect fit because we could provide the technical leadership he required, and we came with our built-in experienced engineering team. He also valued the fact that we would think deeply with him to validate and vet the problem he was trying to solve, ensuring that we built the right product for the right target market.
