Can you imagine going back to startup mode after working in the industry for 25 years?  That’s exactly what industry veterans, Scott Hobin and Steve Robinson did in March when they launched their new venture, RackStar Networks, which supports datacenters, service providers, enterprises, and resellers worldwide with networking products and white-glove services.  How do we manage working capital as a new business?  How do we stand out among established companies?  How do we scale?  These are just a few questions that Scott and Steve must navigate to achieve success.  What’s surprised them the most during startup mode?  It’s not anything to do with operations, sales, or marketing.  Their biggest surprise has come from experiencing the power of personal relationships.

On this episode of TradeIQ, Scott, Steve and I discuss what it takes to launch a new company in the circular tech economy and why personal connections matter more than ever.
