I’ve had the honor of knowing Cameron for quite sometime now and she’s a wonderful person. She’s also half of the team that built the ever growing Coloft in Santa Monica, CA. For those that are unfamiliar with the Coloft (you’ll learn a ton soon), it’s the premier co-working spot in the LA area (I say so). Now I’ll let the interview take it from here.
Three questions with ShareSquare’s CEO, Matthias Galica, on QR codes, ShareSquare, and the future of QR. Where do you see the QR code market progress towards in the next year? 5 years?
