"I don't play favorites, but let me say that my time with Robert Wolfe and Allison Capaldi ranks right up there," says Hersh of his joint interview with the brilliant minds behind Zeck the company that is revolutionizing, streamlining, and frankly just making tolerable, the process of preparing decks and holding board meetings and presentations. Zeck is a cloud-based software platform that is transforming the board meeting. Zeck creates both time efficiency and qualitative improvement of board dynamics. Basically, after living through miserable and outdated board meetings, as both operators and board directors, we decided to completely reimagine the entire board meeting process. Zeck is co-founded by Edward Norton, an award-winning actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur, and by Robert and Jeffrey Wolfe, the founders of Moosejaw (acquired by Walmart) and CrowdRise (acquired by GoFundMe). James Zubok, an incredibly experienced software company operator and private equity investor, is a founding partner. Zeck is reimagining the entire board meeting process. Leadership teams are saving a crazy amount of time (Zeck AI is mind blowing) and sending a superior product to their board. But, the ultimate game changer is that Zeck is having a transformational impact on the dynamics between leadership teams and their boards, making the process strategic and forward thinking. You will never again go into a board meeting and scroll through a deck that your board already read. Such a phenomenal waste of everyone’s time.
