In 2008, Ryan Holmes and his team at Invoke Media set out to solve a growing problem: managing multiple social media accounts efficiently. What started as BrightKit, a simple Twitter management tool, quickly evolved into Hootsuite, a powerhouse in social media management.

With an intuitive dashboard and multi-platform support, Hootsuite revolutionized how brands engage online. As the company scaled, it fostered a culture of innovation, inspiring ex-employees to launch new ventures—many in digital health.

The "Hootsuite Mafia" is now redefining healthcare tech, applying startup agility and social media savvy to one of the world’s most complex industries.

Trying to solve the growing problem of managing multiple social media accounts, Ryan Holmes created Hootsuite.
