As someone born, raised and still residing among the farms of rural Cascade, Iowa but running a tech startup based in San Francisco, Jeremie Miller splits his time between very different worlds. 

“It sort of it feels like I’m living two lives sometimes,” Miller said during his talk on Oct. 11 at Thinc Iowa

As Miller tells it, his passion for technology and affinity for the values of small-town Iowa have driven him throughout his life. Most recently, the dual influences led him to Singly, the startup he co-founded to help developers integrate personal and social data into the apps they build.

With Singly, Miller is using technology to help replicate some of the best qualities of his Iowa hometown on a global scale. “This is exactly what technology is enabling us to do today across a much larger, much wider audience,” he said. “We’re not from the same small town, but we can actually start to have that same small-town experience through all of these apps.”
