Brian Hemesath, co-founder and software developer of NotifyWorks appeared on Episode 56 of PrairieCast to discuss his startup companies and the lessons learned while bootstrapping his businesses. A serial entrepreneur, Brian not only owns a part of several businesses now, but has already been on the exit side as he sold one of his businesses a few years ago.

Brian also presented at the BIZ luncheon this week as well to discuss bootstrapping and entrepreneurship. Subtitled “The Non-fundraising Path,” Brian shared his experiences on key components to start-up success beyond, raising capital. These components included: the best reason to start a business (hint: it’s not to get rich), choosing the right partner, the best way to network for business and community growth and many more.
