One of the promises of entrepreneurship is that there are opportunities to make money all around us if we can learn how to recognize them.

Laurence Taylor has recognized some of them himself.

Laurence and his wife are the founders of HipTen, a SwaS (Software with a Service) consultancy that works exclusively on the Salesforce platform for the insurance industry.
