Wednesday, July 7 from 9am to 12pm.
About the topic (from Jason):
So many business philosophies profess they’re the One True Way, yet different business face different hurdles. After starting three companies, I’ve found that some widely accepted advice lead to failure while trusting my (inexperienced) gut lead to success. In this talk-plus-discussion I’ll give specific advice about when to follow the rules and when to go your own way.
About the Speaker:
Jason is the founder of Smart Bear Software, maker of Code Collaborator, the world’s most popular tool for peer code review and winner of the Jolt Award. He took Smart Bear from start to multiple millions in revenue and 50% profit margin without debt or VC, then sold it for cash.
Jason is also a founding member of ITWatchdogs, another bootstrapped startup which became profitable and was sold. He’s also a mentor at Capital Factory (like TechStars or Y-Combinator in Austin) and the co-host of OnStartups Answers along with Dharmesh Shah.
