Diane Seimetz Duncan, Principal, LAUNCH

Diane Seimetz Duncan started life as a copywriter at Dallas ad agency Tracy Locke, working on snack chip giant Frito Lay, Tabasco Brand Pepper Sauce, KinderCare and Phillips Petroleum, among others. Her second stop was Temerlin McClain, now TM Advertising, where she plied her creative craft on the likes of American Airlines, Bank of America, JCPenney and Subaru.

Diane founded LAUNCH in 1999 as an “intrapreneurial’ effort inside agency Temerlin McClain, with partners David Wilgus and Michael Boone, spinning off as an independent in 2003. The group was behind such high profile launches as online dating giant Match.com, online grocer GroceryWorks.com and Hotels.com, and the relaunch of eatZi’s Market & Bakery.

Today, this Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Business continues to lend its marketing talents to Park Place luxury automotive Dealerships, Borden Dairy, Interstate Batteries, Baylor Scott & White Health, the Town of Addison and others.  They also “launched” their own business, HeadSpace Dallas, a creative coworking space in International Business Park in Far North Dallas.

Dr. Jonathan Clarke and his wife Lauren started Mend in order to deliver convenient, affordable, on-demand urgent healthcare to homes, offices or hotels, for patients age 1 to 64. Mend specializes in the treatment of common illnesses and injuries, which require prompt evaluation, but aren’t serious enough to require a visit to an emergency room.

Jonathan received his medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine then joined the U.S. Navy for 14 years where he served as a flight surgeon. He cared for thousands of wounded servicemen and women during tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lauren earned her master’s degree in strategic communications from Columbia University and her bachelor’s degree in violin performance from the University of North Texas. Before co-founding Mend with her husband, Lauren worked in strategy and marketing for more than 16 years, serving global organizations including American Express, IMG Artists, Insight for Living, the Juilliard School and Nokia.
