Ashley Tate Interview - Mina
Today’s guest on TechEntrepreneur is Ashley Tate , which is a serial entrepreneur founder of Mina, a company that provides EV charging solutions.
Ash’s business focuses on helping individuals and fleets simplifying the EV charging process and billing, making it a pleasant and efficient experience. Ash is going to talk about how he became an entrepreneur, left school at 16 years old, and started several successful businesses with little preparation but a lot of motivation and resilience.
We’re going to learn about the importance of recruiting, and why Ash chose to downsize his team overtime, preferring a small quality team with a strong culture. Ash is going to share with us his mindset when it comes to business plans, focus, and why he ultimately decided to turn the direction of his business after launch.
The solutions that Mina provides are addressing a crucial problem in the EV market, we are going to learn what these challenges are and how the company started. Ultimately Ash is going to share with us some advice for young entrepreneurs, his impressions on the EV market, and his vision for Mina’s future.
Enjoy the episode and we’d be happy if you could leave us a review.
Quotes
"I think that's the entrepreneur mindset. They see a problem and they're like...we can solve this!
We'll just solve this other problem here too! And a lot of times you kind of forget the overheads
you're incurring." Darren Auld
"I think there is a fine balance to be had between, kind of being throwing things at people to
make it feel like a good culture and actually being a good culture." Ashley Tate
