World IP Day Celebrates Young Innovators
The HSM Group (which includes HSM Chambers, HSM Corporate Services and HSM IP) are supporters of Cayman Enterprise City’s Business Design Competition. This year’s Project of the Year winner is 25-year-old George Wauchope of Emailchaser.io, a website and sales tool that allows salespeople to find peoples’ email addresses, even if those email addresses are not publicly available.
In recognition of World IP Day (26 April 2022) and their theme of young innovators, HSM IP had a discussion with George to find out more about him and how IP plays a role in his company.
Emailchaser.io was born out of a personal experience when George travelled to Cuba and his luggage went missing. The frontline staff were not helpful so he took matters into his own hands by tracking down the email of the airline’s CEO and emailed them for assistance. This worked to his favour and signified the importance of being in direct contact with the right person.
Their company name was inspired by its simplicity, need to chase an email? Use Emailchaser.io. Their logo is not something you would expect and that is what helps it stand out, it showcases a gorilla wearing sunglasses with wings on its back and a halo above its head.
George is a true entrepreneur with several other companies under his portfolio, including George’s Watersports and an activity website: https://www.thingstodocayman.net/. In fact, this website is what opened George to the digital and software realm, which helped him to create Emailchaser.io.
