Crado fotoSoftware was launched over 30 years ago by successful freelance photographer, Cradoc Bagshaw.THE BEGINNINGIn 1984, photographer Cradoc Bagshaw returned from a trip to China with 5,000 slides that needed to be captioned. At the time, the only option readily available to do this task was terribly inefficient so Cradoc sourced small labels that would fit his slide mounts and using a “primitive” laptop, he wrote his first program to print the labels.

At the time, the only option readily available to do this task was terribly inefficient so Cradoc sourced small labels that would fit his slide mounts and using a “primitive” laptop, he wrote his first program to print the labels. Every photographer that Cradoc mentioned this program to wanted it. Soon the demand was so great that he branded it The Cradoc Captionwriter and sold thousands of copies to photographers and agencies alike.NEXT STEPSIn the early 1990’s, after a year-long shooting trip to Europe with his wife Therese, Cradoc wrote the first version of fotoQuote, a program that has become the North American standard, “the blue book” of photo pricing.The success of fotoQuote was soon followed by the launch of fotoBiz, the most comprehensive, powerful, and easy to use business software available for photographers providing them with the tools needed for estimating, bidding and billing. Like its predecessor, fotoBiz was an immediate success.The third program in the Cradoc group of products is fotoKeyword Harvester which was written in 2005. This “before it’s time” software simplifies the repetitive complexity of creating keywords for images.TODAYCradoc fotoSoftware programs continue to be the first choice of photography schools and of freelance photographers worldwide. The team at myCEO was fortunate enough to join the Cradoc fotoSoftware family in 2017, working behind the scenes in Sales, Marketing & Operations to ensure the legacy of Cradoc’s vision, helping and supporting future generations of photographers to be successful at their craft.

These “mastermind” groups are like having your own dedicated board of directors, your new circle of “business best friends” who engage with you through stimulating conversation and thought-provoking discussions in a safe, non-judgmental environment.What you will get out of it:Members of the group are committed to supporting you on your career journey by actively listening, challenging your thoughts and assumptions, providing encouragement when you’re facing tough decisions or difficult circumstances and holding you accountable to the goals you create. Utilizing round table dialogue and “in my experience” advise, Women in Tech Connect has been created as a place to celebrate wins and successes and to share common experience, giving you an opportunity to grow your network and help you develop both professionally and personally.How it Works:There will be a 90-minute meeting held in-person or remotely each month for a period of 6-months that will begin by answering 3 specific questions you prep in advance and then share with the group. The next part of the meeting will either focus on an agreed upon business topic, challenge or scenario we talk about and work on together OR will be a round table discussion based on an idea, potential initiative or real-life circumstance presented to the group by one of its members. This is followed by a round of qualifying questions that help the group members to understand your exploration in greater detail and an “in my experience” statement or comment from each member to help guide and support your next steps.“Fill your life with women that empower you, that help you believe in your magic and aid them to believe in their own exceptional power and their incredible magic too. —Nikita Gillhttps://www.myceo.ca/about-women-in-tech-connect Show less
