The Company
MyQuire is an online tool for doing projects that is easy to use and
lets members do work, meet in real time, and connect their projects to
their networks. Whether trying to do a project at work or planning a
casual weekend getaway with friends, there has been pain associated
with the entire process. Software historically has been about people
interacting with technology. The popularity of social networks has
taught us that people would rather interact with people when they are
online. And so MyQuire developed a powerful and comprehensive tool for
projects that puts people – not technology - at the center of the
project.
