Val Katayev - The Journey of Bootstrapping to Over a Hundred Million

Today on The Casey Adams Show I sat down with Val Katayev. Val Katayev is a serial entrepreneur who has been following his entrepreneurial journey since the late 1990s. He started with a PlayStation website, during the dot-com bubble, and eventually moved into search advertising. He has since grown his portfolio of companies, and today focuses his time on Jocalio, a new company he is building to become the backbone of the independent jewelry industry. Val preaches bootstrapping companies and has never looked into venture capital as a means of financing.
