Build. Test. Adapt. Repeat. These are just some of the unwavering values that have helped Dan Light - Founder of Dan Light Consulting - grow to be an influential voice in the entrepreneurial community in his hometown of Warrenton, VA as well as across the country (and world).
I've been very fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with Dan, who has a combined 45 years experience in startups and tech. That's over 4 decades! As a serial entrepreneur, Dan's founded or been a principal in four small businesses in remarkably diverse spaces. In addition, he played a pivotal role in the IPO of a fifth company and has contributed to the success of hundreds of other companies. These companies have been in industries such as defense contracting, information systems, textile production, environmental protection, and telecommunications.
In this episode, Dan and I have a candid conversation as he shares his thoughts on entrepreneurship, what early-stage entrepreneurs should focus on, as well as what it's like to work with him and how he provides value to budding ventures. If you're looking for detailed thoughts and advice from an entrepreneur that has zero hesitation taking chances or speaking truthfully about starting up, this is the episode for you.
