Balsomic is a software company that has been around for more than 10 years. Founder and CEO of balsomic, John Sutter says he was inspired by his parents to start the company. He started out working as a programmer in silica valley but soon realized there were many other skills needed before becoming a product manager. "I don't know about younger or more interesting, but better looking for surea a a aha ha," Sutter said.
Twenty pages into reading his first business book, Peldi Guilizzonni (@peldi) closed it for good and told himself, "This is not for me. I'm never going to start a business. It's insane." Not long after that, he rolled up his sleeves and got started building Balsamiq Mockups, which would go on to employee dozens of people, serve thousands of customers, and generate over $6M per year in revenue. Over ten years later, it's still going strong. Learn about the path Peldi took to get where he is today, why he's a legend among bootstrappers, and how he's building a business that's meant to last.
