Glenn Geller – Co-Founder and Chief Architect of the Symposium App
Glenn Geller is the Co-Founder and Chief Architect of the Symposium App. Glenn helps service providers including coaches, consultants, entertainers, and other professionals receive compensation for their services while reaching new audiences and markets more directly through the app and website that offers live, face-to-face interactions. Glenn thinks that you shouldn’t be at the mercy of middlemen on other platforms who take more than their fair share of the money for your services. They also don’t necessarily provide convenient times to schedule or allow you the option to potentially have a closer, ongoing relationship with the client. Glenn believes you should be able to better control the fee structure, scheduling and future interactions with the client to have a better experience for everyone involved. Glenn has been creating software and integrated systems since 1997. He spent 15 years in the financial industry working with pre-debit cards for the unbanked and underbanked which lead to a deeper understanding of people’s payment needs and the processing gaps plaguing many small businesses, especially service providers. He’s also spent the last five years building live/real-time video solutions with emerging real-time video technologies, like WebRTC. In his spare time, Glenn enjoys music, entertainment and the arts.
