EasyKeeper joins Carson City business incubator

EasyKeeper was featured in the Northern Nevada Business Weekly this month after we joined the Adam’s Hub business incubator in Carson City. You can read the article below, or find it on the NNBW website.

“Herd Smarter, Not Harder” is the motto of EasyKeeper Herd Manager, a software-as-a-service company that aims to disrupt the world of goat production. The young company already has hundreds of subscribers. To accelerate their growth, EasyKeeper recently became a member of the business incubator at Adams Hub for innovation in Carson City.

EasyKeeper Founder and CEO Jean Harrison was a 4-H Member who grew up breeding and showing dairy goats in California, Oregon and Northern Nevada. After a military career, she worked as a software development professional in the San Francisco Bay Area. One day she realized that she could use her software development skills to solve issues common to goat producers.

“63% of worldwide red meat consumption is attributed to goats, yet most producers are still managing their operations with pen and paper,” explains Harrison. “The demand for goat milk has also exploded due to the popularity of artisan goat cheese and rapidly growing goat milk infant formula market in China.”

To be successful, producers must be able to accurately record and analyze key performance indicators, like milk and meat production and reproductive strength. Users also have veterinary records at their fingertips, resulting in healthier goats. “The days of carrying your notebook and pen into the barn or pasture are over,” says Harrison.
