It actually gave me a lot of hope. Bear with me. I always thought that I could never made it to a CEO or anywhere in the C-suite because of my lack of karisma and not being a likeable person. But after today, I have a lot of hope guys, watch me get there!

Yesterday, we officially released the first version of Critter, a new app for iOS & Android geared toward pet owners/people who help take care of your pets. The basic idea is to make it simple to manage and share pet care with a mobile platform for tracking and communicating care updates.

It’s simple: add your pets. Invite people who help with their care (family, friends, professionals). Build a care plan. Track and share updates/pics/docs/etc.
