This week's meeting is Start-Up Rewind.
 
SeeInMe - Risa Stein (risa@seeinme.com; Cell: 816-645-2232)
BIO: I possess a unique set of credentials and skills including a PHD in clinical child and health psychology and an MA in Organizational Leadership. I have an extensive behavioral medicine research and publication record as well as 25+ years dedicated to teaching undergraduate students. Over the past decade, I have consulted with universities, nonprofits, large corporations, and think-tanks on design thinking and innovation. I've also dabbled in the nonprofit realm having created a trauma-informed mental health support website for students and I've written a popular personal development self-guided therapy workbook, called the 'Best Damn Life Workbook.'
 
OVERVIEW: I created SeeInMe after experiencing my own challenges as a patient, caregiver, and provider. Through SeeInMe, I aim to introduce a new standard of care: Collaborative, focused on the uniqueness of every individual, and fueled by data-driven insights. The SeeInMe personal care guide profile promotes quality care across diverse settings for diverse populations with access verification and data-analytics.
 
In an industry marred by fragmented and impersonal care, SeeInMe ensures every member of a complex care network operates with a current and holistic understanding of the individuals they serve.
 
Remodel Relief – Dr. Shelley Cooper (bob@remodelrelief.com; 913-710-3818)
OVERVIEW: Organizes and streamlines the home maintenance and renovation process by providing maintenance reminders to your calendar, documents home projects on photographic timelines, organizes information about contractors-contracts, licenses, permits, etc.  Includes a message board for users & advertisers, an AI helper to assist with DIW projects, keeps track of financial information, invoices, and expenses.  The system shares referral information and affiliate partners assist users with additional services.
 
Crawfish Festival Update!
Here are the final numbers from the Crawfish Festival!
 
Total Revenue   $81,000 (includes $13,500 raised by Growing Futures)
Total Expenses  $41,000
Event Net           $40,000
 
These numbers do not reflect the value of the in-kind donations of food and beverages.
 
The net payment we will make to Growing Futures is close to $30,000, including the funds they raised. The net payment to Future of Hope is $6,700. That will leave the event account with approximately $3000 to pay final bills, sales tax, accounting audit and to have some funds to start the 2026 Crawfish Festival.
 
Thank you to everyone for all your hard work!
