Ever since they met some six or seven years ago, friends Jesse Boyes and Seth Harris have wanted to find a way to work together. Enter HERE.fm, a video calling app (“a big shared canvas,” as Boyes calls it), that allows the two to feel like they’re in the same room together even when they aren’t.

Find out how the two stuck with their business dream—even after 50 rejections from investors—on this episode of “Setting Up Shop,” Created with GEICO.
