Really interesting! A space I've thought a lot about after making the PhD-> startup transition and realizing the total lack of administrative training academic professors get (and the frustration of their students). Would love to connect and see if I can be helpful in any way!
Professors have to run research groups in addition to teaching and committee work. It's very similar but different from the industry/corporate world so I'm working to tailor things specifically to academia.
I had actually started it before the pandemic, but it's even more relevant now! Trying to get a beta out soon very soon, and some real screenshots for the website. It's about 80% there but things are finally moving again for me.
