MenuBrandon Kolybaba Bootstrapping, Big Data, "Cloud", IaaS, OpenStack
I like talking to entrepreneurs who are excited about starting and growing new business ideas. I have some good experience with bootstrapping several companies I've started and have gown with very little capital investment as I am a true believer in lean startup.
I believe that you can do a lot more with cultural capital then with financial capital and have had some success building high performing teams that work very well together and get results.

I worked with Brandon for almost two years at Norex and Sheepdog Inc. Brandon is one of the brightest businessmen I've known. Every project managed by Brandon was a success. On top of his management skills, Brandon has a solid understanding of Information Technology, which makes him the best fit for an IT company president. I enjoyed working with Brandon, it was a great experience for me

In every dealing, Brandon conducts himself with sincerity, honesty and a technical expertise that I've always admired.
We have regularly met for breakfast to discuss the state of the industry. Brandon's openness about the industry and how we can make it better for both our clients and the business in general are admirable.
On top of that, Brandon's enthusiasm for new ideas, markets and companies is inspiring. He's certainly pushing Nova Scotia forward with each new project.

Source: LinkedIn Jeff White Dec 21, 2012Brandon was involved at a high level in the development of our very complex and specialized intranet project. For me, Brandon's involvement was our assurance that our needs were being heard and understood and that our priorities were the first order of business. His team did great work, and Brandon marshalled the project masterfully. While not micromanaging, he remained always accessible to us, responsive, and was absolutely a delight to deal with.

Great Question! I know entrepreneurs who have faulted on both sides of the equation. From my perspective it's easier for the folks on the "not trying hard enough" side self-identify as being so with the help of good advisors, mentors, & peer group. If you don't have that then get them!
The other case is much more difficult. I've seen the most amazing victories snatched from the jaws of defeat that seem nothing short of miraculous. That's what makes it difficult. I've also seen people dig a hole so deep they won't likely get out in less than 5 years and it's truly devastating to them and their families (if they have them). If you are in this spot ask your advisors, mentors, & peer group to be very blunt with you and listen to them carefully, and take notes!
