In 2012, after Brian Rowe sold the analytics company he co-owned, iGoDigital, to ExactTarget for $21 million, he knew he wanted to move on to a new adventure in the startup realm. He just wasn’t sure what it would be.
“I wanted to do something where I could use my strong analytics background, but I also wanted the chance to have a greater impact,” Rowe recalls. “I wanted to do some good instead of just selling more stuff.”
Later that year, he founded Indianapolis-based Perceivant, a hybrid healthcare/educational technology startup that creates online wellness courses for college students, designed to help them live a healthier lifestyle — while also providing a one-stop digital platform for professors teaching those courses.
