A pretty interesting guy.

Shadrach White came to talk to us on Wednesday and him talking about starting business was very interesting. He started because he was at the right place at the right time and because of this he ended up making his own business that is growing. Shadrach’s business reminded me of govworks because it has to deal with government, but that’s only because we just watched it and because they both are trying to make government work easier. Having the ability to start a company with free servers was probably the most interesting thing he mentioned since it means that creating your company before was way harder because you would need that extra money so you could just start it. He also talked about how they recreate the programs they used to cut down cost, and that is very smart since you will always want to be competitive with your pricing. Shadrach mentioned that he used his connections to start his company by doing freelancing in companies and waiting until he had enough money to start. The fact that his company would be held more accountable if there was a security breaching than the companies that have been already established, and he brought up the example of Experian who had a security breach and didn’t get any drawbacks. For an upcoming company, you have to prove you are safe and better than the competition that is out there so people can trust the company. Shadrach was very interesting and knowledgeable, getting to hear what he had to say about starting his own company was great.
