Hi,

I'd like to offer Bernhard/Todd/Julia and the rest of the 2013 Chicago Lean Startup entrepreneurs a big shoutout for the amount of teaching/learning done this summer!  I've never been closer to my dream of creating a business, thanks to all of you guys.  It's difficult to mention all the things learned in one blog post, but the most important lesson I learned is the following:  Starting a business isn't about invention and miracle ideas, although for very few it is.  For most, business generation is a scientific methodology where business models are researched and tested in real markets.  With enough time, energy and persistence, a team can make market impact by having the empathy to listen and willingness to react.

Our product is HITGenie, an IT change request system designed specifically around the needs for large integrated healthcare systems to meet increasingly demanding healthcare IT challenges.  Check out our website at www.healthcorefinancial.com.

Thanks!

Andrew Webster
