"When you've been on an emotional rocket ship journey from launch, to ‘unicorn’ status, to spontaneous combustion (with a couple of disorientating years off in the middle enjoying a young family) you really don’t expect to be jumping back into another rocket so soon " Says Jess Butcher, Co-Founder of Blippar, the AR pioneers that recently went into administration, and now Co-Founder of new social video platform, Tick." The timing, in some ways, is impeccable. As Co-Founder of Blippar which was once reputedly worth over $1bn and positioned as the future of a 'camera first, mobile society', which pioneered augmented reality paving the way for the next generation like Snapchat and Instagram, Jess has a great track record for spotting trends early, and knowing where to find an opportunity worth exploring.
