Code Story

OwlTail

Dan Langevin grew up in Madison, CT - east of New Haven. He had a good size family, with his Dad being an engineer and Mother being a teacher. He grew up around computers, and learned how to build websites in High School. When he went to college, he didn't think he wanted to be in tech and struck out in consulting. It was during this time that he taught himself how to code, built a portfolio, and switched careers into tech. He's married, with a 2 year old and another baby on the way. So free time doesn't really exist for him. But when he can, he likes to spend time outdoors, reading and exercising.Dan and his co-founder started out building credentialing software, a sort of deep background check on Doctors. In creating a way to scrape &amp; pull in accepted insurance, they recognized a broader need for data to be more fluid in the space. It became obvious that a company needed to solve this problem for the space.This is the creation story of Vericred.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://vericred.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-langevin-0636004/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
