Episode 24 | Wichita Chamber Business Accelerator

So a Human Resources director and a farmer walk into a bar. Sounds like the start of a great joke, but it is the true story of an AI based video tech firm with an international reach that started right here in Wichita, Kansas.

Quicc is every team’s secret weapon to amplify their brand by repurposing video content like a global heavyweight, without needing a media empire to do it. Quicc wants to help you “Be Heard” by harnessing the power of video to educate, entertain, inform, and connect with your audience. In a world with so many viewers now watching video without sound, they have helped creators in over 100 countries worldwide achieve maximum accessibility and increased audience engagement through a simple, automated, custom process to caption video content at lightning speed.

Mike Mathia and Jason Toevs, co-founders of Quicc, join co-hosts Don Sherman and Clemons-Ajibolade to explore everything from starting out with heavy involvement of investors and pivoting into new opportunities amid explosive growth.
