Candyspark who?

Hi, my name is Cashman Andrus, and I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few years about the ways that mobile devices should work together with PCs and the Internet. I’ve typed and scribbled many notes, filled a lot of graph paper with diagrams, installed dozens of beta apps and written up three or four draft business plans — all in the hopes of coming up with a better system for making the three things work together better.

Mobile, desktop, Internet: I’ve come to see these as three legs of the stool that support an information-rich life. Between them, they take up probably half of my waking days and provide the majority of my communication, reading material, and (increasingly) media consumption. And so, it’s disappointing and annoying when they don’t work very well together, and to me it seems that one of the biggest gaps is between the mobile (specifically, my phone) and the desktop (specifically, my laptop).

So, lately I’ve been pondering this issue, and I’ve come to believe that while it’s a complicated problem, it’s one worth diving into, and potentially rewarding both personally and commercially. Thus, I’ve formed Candspark, a start-up company which will develop products for desktop-to-mobile sync and communication from an Internet-centric point of view
