Blockchain technology continues to change the world in new ways. Tech startup Data Gumbo is one of the latest examples of that. Data Gumbo uses blockchain technology to create a network of smart contracts for industrial companies to automate their vendor management. By doing so, Data Gumbo vastly reduces supply chain friction while also bringing trust into an area severely lacking it.

Date Gumbo CEO Andrew Bruce sat down for a conversation with startup ally Roland Siebelink this week on the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast. Andrew explained why blockchain technology provides the perfect solution for this particular use case. He also shared the steps Data Gumbo has taken on its road to success:

  • How the idea for Data Gumbo came from companies that didn’t trust each other.
  • Why business sponsorship was a better fit for Data Gumbo than venture capital investing.
  • The importance of looking at what investors can bring to the table outside of money.
  • Andrew’s strong opinion on the evil of pilot projects.
  • How a structured operating system played a key role in Data Gumbo’s growth.
  • Why establishing the company value of “comfortable with chaos” has been critical for Data Gumbo.
