About
Larry Luke

I'm the founder and CEO of Steamboat Software. I love two things: being outdoors and using technology to help people.

Happiest outside

I'm happiest outdoors: skiing, biking, backpacking, anything that gets me moving in the mountains and wide-open places. The quiet and the cold are where I think best. It's no accident that Steamboat Software began on a chairlift at Steamboat Ski Resort, in the crisp mountain air, when a big idea became as clear as the winter sky.

Backpacking trails I've loved

Eagle Pass Trail (Eagle Creek Trail #755), near Cody, Wyoming. A remote, strenuous multi-day route through the Washakie Wilderness, and a quiet gateway toward Yellowstone National Park and Eagle Peak.
Kearsarge Pass, from the Onion Valley trailhead.
Colorado Trail, Segment 5: Long Gulch to Kenosha Pass.

Technology for people

I love technology, mostly for what it can do for people. Every app I build starts with someone I'm trying to help.

KinectedCare is for families who worry about a parent living on their own. It tells the whole CareTeam at once when someone presses HELP, or when a watch detects a fall.
HeyGroop is for the group that can't decide where to eat, when to leave or who's driving. It turns the thread into one card everyone can trust.
MapMend is for getting ready, not just getting there. Live traffic, driving weather and your calendar become one clear picture of your day.
1Bar is for the moments you're together but out of signal. It passes messages from phone to phone over Bluetooth.
RAMPART is for hockey players who want complete visibility, with no fog.

I don't fill my apps with ads, and I don't sell your information.

Work Hard. Be Kind. Do Better.

These are the values I try to live every day.

Work Hard

Whatever I'm doing, I put my shoulder into it, because there is no do over in life.

Be Kind

Every app I make is meant to care for someone: a parent, a friend, a group, a traveler.

Do Better

I keep refining until things feel effortless, and I try to be a little better than I was yesterday.
