Over the years, Brad Weber has gone from one-man shop, developing custom software applications, to the founder and CEO of InspiringApps, a rapidly growing mobile app design and development company based out of Boulder, Colorado. Now with offices in multiple states and a growing remote team, Brad has experienced many of the growing pains that come with scaling a business rapidly.
Today, Brad and the team at InspiringApps remain passionate about their mission to create digital products that delight users and help businesses thrive. With a focus on the long-term strategy, consistent processes, and a stronger foundation, they are poised for great things.
Key Takeaway: Build a strong foundation – As Brad states, while we have been successful with a 14-year history and more than 20 employees, we would have been better served by introducing strategy, process, and a stronger foundation earlier in the game.
Lessons Learned:
Build a Foundation – Having structure – systems, processes, etc. in your business can make a huge difference in the long term of a business from both an efficiency perspective as well as a value perspective.
Contractors vs. Employees – Regardless of whether you are dealing with contractors or employees, ensure there is a cultural fit and buy-in to ensure that everybody is committed and pulling in the same direction.
Continual Learning – As an entrepreneur and an executive, learning never stops.
