SHELBY SANDERFORD UPTOWN CEO & FOUNDER DOCPACE

What about New Orleans inspires you? The amount of opportunity that exists is very motivating. There is room for improvement in the city, the market isn't super saturated with startups, and the community is very supportive. What advice would you give your twenty-year-old self? Take the first step. It may feel foreign, but it will lead to your next step. What would people be surprised to know about you? I started DOCPACE when I was 22, that even surprises me!

Describe what you love about what you do. Since I was young, I dreamed of becoming a transformational leader and with DOCPACE I am living that dream. My long-term vision is to make healthcare as convenient and efficient as possible so that it becomes a low stress commodity. Creating a product that will have a greater social impact is incredibly rewarding.
