Chris Ronzio was running a video production company with employees scattered across the country\u2014and he needed to ensure they were all following the right procedures to maintain the consistency and standards of their product. So he developed a software tool to assist with their training. After he sold the video business to a competitor, he continued to develop the software tool.

As a consultant, his clients began to request it. Then friends of his clients began to request it. Soon he realized he had a product people would pay for. And his next company, Trainual, was born. 

\n

Today they provide training software for some of the biggest brands in the world and serve companies in 120 countries.

On this edition of Founders Journey, Chris talks about his early venture, selling his company, and how he funded his startup with $300,000 in credit card debt (it\u2019s not a strategy he generally recommends).
