Tribold Geek Completes All-female Greenland Ice Trip
Who says geeks are pale skinned, anorak-wearing folk with poor muscle tone? A software engineer at VC-backed Tribold just crossed Greenland's ice sheet, as part of an all-female and all British team that battled the elements on skis for 650 kilometres in 16 and a half days to reach Ammasillik on the country’s east coast.
OK, the anorak part might be right but it's worn here of necessity.
Software Engineer Jenny Pugh (far right) And The Arctic Fox Team.
Jenny Pugh of Tribold, a two year old software company in the UK whose products are used by telcos to manage the product lifecycle (so-call PPM tools), trained for eight months and took two months off from her job at the startup to complete the journey for a local charity organization.
Tribold is on our radar. It was founded in 2003 by Simon Muderack, who serves as CEO, and Catherine Michel, CTO, both former Accenture execs. It recently raised capital from Eden Ventures, one of the few early stage European tech VC to have raised a new fund this cycle. It's doing more than putting out brand building press releases - from what we are hearing it's making headway selling into enterprise and operations units of some good-sized telcos.
