This is my third digital startup attempt.

My first was an education technology platform to replace 4th through 8th grade Textbooks. I found out the hard way that the education publishing business is nearly impossible to disrupt.

My second was a context-search engine, but machine learning killed that idea ... fast.

Mach9Poker is just a simple app that allows anyone to build and test poker strategies against other strategies running automatically in the cloud. Pretty harmless and may even help some poker players make more money and lose less...so all in all, I think a good thing to reduce the downsides of playing poker for money. There is a potential pivot to making it an actual gambling app, but that's only if the initial app makes a TON of headway.

I'm also having fun designing and building it. That's what entrepreneurship is all about.
