Before a technology company is launched in Chattanooga, the chances are pretty good that the founder will have talked to Mike Bradshaw at The Company Lab. As CoLab's Executive Director, Mike has advised scores of companies and helped guide them from the kernel of an idea stage all the way to becoming full-fledged realities.
As CoLab turns the page on a new phase as the anchor tenant of the Edney Innovation Center, Mike sits down with Start It Up Host Monty Bruell to explore the intangibles that go into making a startup business successful. Sure, every entrepreneur needs a business plan, a revenue model, and adequate funding, but there is so much more that goes into the "gumbo" that is the startup process. Mike has been both an entrepreneur, investor, and mentor. He has seen it all and offers insights into the secret sauce that goes into launching fledgling companies into the orbit of business success.
