Dean Guida Bootstrapped His Way to Building a Multinational Enterprise Software Company
Manage episode 428897202 series 75629
This week’s guest, Dean Guida, founder and CEO of Infragistics, has plenty of grit.
But as he’s discovered on his way to bootstrapping a company that today serves 100% of the S&P 500, including Bank of America, Exxon, Fidelity, Intuit, and Morgan Stanley — to win in business, you also need:
Strategic planning
A positive and collaborative company culture
Reliable data that informs your decision-making
And non-stop learning
Dean launched his business in 1989 when he was only 23 years old. Today, his enterprise software company operates in six countries and serves more than two million software developers. And he’s done it all without a cent of venture capital.
Dean’s expertise is highly technical, but his new book, When Grit is Not Enough: An Entrepreneur’s Playbook for Taking Your Business to the Next Level, makes it easy for any business leader to understand how to grow a business from the ground up and compete against larger, better-funded competitors.
Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
