MaxTracker

Steve is a lifelong entrepreneur with deep experience in creating systems and building talented teams to create new products and services across a number of business categories. After more than a decade as managing director of investment banking firm Commonwealth Companies, Steve developed his ideas and founded the first dot-com company in the online auto business to provide customers the ability to purchase new or used vehicles, provide bank financing, and have the car delivered to the purchaser, avoiding the usual dealership experience. Steve secured VC funding for this startup and exited its nationally known tech incubator at the top of its class. Next, Steve was recruited by the world's largest dot-com auction site to lead their B2C auto sales division. This division provided online sales for large national banks and auto leasing companies, selling off-lease vehicles for those bank leasing companies, maximizing the banks' return on assets. The concept for MaxTracker originated with Steve's experience of having two expensive mountain bikes stolen from his Jeep's bike rack while it was parked for 10 minutes on a sunny Saturday morning. This began a search for the most secure protection to stop the theft of valuable personal property. Steve's view is households are well protected by video doorbells and home security cameras and systems, but MaxTracker fills the need for protection beyond the end of the customers' driveway. The development of MaxTracker fulfills Steve’s passion and mission: To reverse the current outcomes of theft and loss of personal property so the owners win and the thieves are caught and face justice.

Jim is an experienced technology lead and entrepreneur with several ventures in sports and tech. He started as a software engineer and moved on to systems architect and then to CTO. He has received two patents, and more are pending for the MaxTracker product line. Jim remembers the trauma of having his brand new mountain bike stolen while on a biking trip to Breckenridge. The anger and frustration he felt was top of mind when Steve invited him to join MaxTracker. More recently, his golf clubs were taken, ironically just a few months before he could get a MaxTracker prototype into the bag. He is driven to bring this product into production, to protect his own stuff and that of others.
