\\u201cThe truth is, we almost didn\\u2019t make it.\\u201d \\u2013 Podcast insights from Aaron Suzuki, Founder & CEO of Prowess Consulting and SmartDeploy
At the age of 26, Aaron Suzuki found himself growing a regional Internet application development firm in Utah in the ashes of the dotcom bubble. By 2003, Aaron had moved to Seattle and co-founded Prowess Consulting, a dynamic moshpit of software engineers, web developers, writers and graphic designers that help major tech companies sell more. But Aaron wanted more.
He started a second company \\u201cfrom scratch\\u201d, SmartDeploy, in 2009 because he wanted to build the only product that could easily deploy thousands of Windows-compatible devices from the cloud. Now Prowess is growing rapidly. And SmartDeploy has thousands of customers and millions of endpoints around the world.
Both companies were started without the help of venture capitalists or private equity firms. But things didn\\u2019t always go so well. They got cocky. Things got hard. They weren\\u2019t making enough money to keep going. And they had small teams trying to do big things. But they held on, listened to their customers, and learned so much. We hope you enjoy this podcast and Aaron\\u2019s passion to \\u201cdeliver exactly what our clients want!\\u201d
