Rick Nucci founded Boomi when he was 24 years old. His hometown of Philadelphia may be the city of brotherly love, but in Silicon Valley, he was in for something completely different. By his own account, he didn’t know what he was doing. He faced infighting with co-founders, stiff competition, and loneliness. But Rick learned, regrouped, and rebuilt his company. Overcoming those challenges not only led to an acquisition, but it also laid the foundation for the follow-up venture he’s leading today.
