To this day, I still don't know if it was part of the interview or the interviewer's working style. I learned a few new curse words and insults from the exchange, but mostly the signal to tell me I didn't want to work there.

STRIVR just announced a deal with Walmart where we are helping to train all of their employees! We are managing VR devices and building VR content on a large scale and have some very interesting problems to solve in such a new space.

STRIVR transforms the way companies train and develop employees by integrating VR into their training. We're a fast growing startup based across the US with engineering offices in Menlo Park, CA and Bellevue, WA. We're looking for folks with VR, cloud, or strong CS backgrounds. We create tools that let our team and customers create VR trainings, and software that deploys and manages those trainings, as well as collects large amounts of data to help improve them even more.

Tech stack: Unity and C# heavy, but we also use C++, Java, Python, Go, and build on Windows, Linux, and Android. We're investing a lot in .Net Core.

Want to change the way the world approaches learning? Join us! All of our engineering roles are available at both locations, see more at https://www.strivr.com/careers

We're a small but quickly growing and well-funded team that is building iOS and Android applications that work with the cameras we are designing either through USB, wireless, or Internet connections. We deal with RTMP, RTP, h.264, embedded development, USB, and VR/OpenGL regularly. Our server stack is Node.js on AWS Lambda but we are tinkering with some Go services. We work closely with teams in China for hardware and manufacturing so have a relatively distributed team.

Who are the Customers/Market Size: We are focusing on healthcare because they have strong incentive to send data faster, but key segments also include legal, government, insurance, and finance/banks. The main driver for them is compliance (HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, FINRA regulations, etc) that effectively require companies to secure their communications and keep an audit trail of access/communications. Audit trail and interoperability are the main reasons companies keep fax around because it's a least common denominator when it comes to communications. The entire secure document collaboration market (including SharePoint and Dropbox) is around US$11.5B right now; the fax market is $5B of that. Telephone costs are $1.3B of that.

Why are these customers left behind: 1: It's hard to completely change out a huge system that is transmitting millions of pages of data every day and many secure document products like DocuSign aren't designed to send at scale like some of the banks use (eg, one bank does 40M pages/month).

2: Beyond the phone number system, there's no universal registrar for contact information for each company. So if company A wants to send something to company B, and both are highly regulated, if company A uses Dropbox and company B uses SharePoint for their audit trail, then how do the two talk to each other? Fax is universal and has a well-known protocol/lookup system and it keeps their audit trail in one place. It's just old, slow, and expensive (but cheaper than building custom integrations between every sender and receiver). I'll bet most people have experience receiving secure documents or signing with at least 10 different systems. If you had to receive more than 1000 documents a month, it would be really hard to do that with 10 different systems: You'd want to just use one, especially for record keeping.

Cost to us is a fraction of the cost because we rely on the Internet, but fax users care more about speed and error rates. Today, fax takes best case 45s/page (this is at 33.6 kbps), but there are errors and retransmissions that slow this down. Our solution knows how to get data from the fax servers and back-end applications faster than fax speed on the order of 10-100mbps, so our value proposition is that we speed up their infrastructure and replace phone lines. To help us grow, we charge them about 50% of their telephone line costs because those lines are no longer needed. So in short, the major value is the speed and error rate reduction, so significant cost cuts are not necessary, but helpful for growth.

This is crazy.

IXD aims to replace fax and other legacy communications technology with 15 minutes worth of changes to their infrastructure. Companies like DocuSign don't focus on bulk transmission of data, and no other solution out there really provides the universal connectivity fax provides. And e-mail is simply not secure. GPG is too hard to use or isn't auditable, so companies stick with what works for them

We're working on clients, proxies, and APIs that pull data from legacy systems and understand fax protocols, and send them through our servers, where we then can relay that data to its destination in a secure way. Then the receiver can choose how they want to receive those documents: via fax servers, e-mail, a Web page, into their database, or in a network folder, for example. Imagine sending a document to a government agency without needing to find a fax machine, all while the agency keeps their fax machines in place and receives your document the way they are used to.

In the long-run, we want to enable large enterprises that deal with compliance standards to use faster, more modern technology to communicate with each other so each company chooses how they want to receive information such as documents or medical images, for instance. This means connecting different communications services: Like Dropbox to ShareFile; or DocuSign to SharePoint. No longer do people have to use the system the sender used to send information: Everyone can use the service they are comfortable with, and more importantly, have audit records in.

My company uses WebStorm regularly because it's a solid IDE for Linux; I've heard of Visual Studio Code running on Linux; have people found that comparable?
