Brandon Kolybaba

Halifax, Nova Scotia

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.

If your not measuring, it's not happening!

Lean Startup

It's a framework to use but don't get too caught up in it, it's about common sense.

I've started 5 companies so far

Creating Good Culture

Everyone says it but few actually achieve it. It's all really common sense but how do you measure results?

How to know when you have bitten off more than you can chew or whether you are not trying hard enough?

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!

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

Brandon and I have been competitors, partners and associates.

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.

Brandon 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.

Brandon is passionate about the work he does for his clients and the quality of customer service his company provides. His level of knowledge and confidence are quite impressive and I highly recommend Norex and the other companies with which he is involved.

Brandon is an innovative and accomplished entrepreneur that I had the pleasure of working with for several years. From our days at CFXU to Norex we were always able to tackle tough challenges. Brandon has a knack for cutting threw the issues to get to what needs to be done and insure that it has been done well. Due to his wealth of experience I would happily recommend Brandon for any project that could use his leadership.

I worked with Brandon and the Norex team to deliver an F&B website for StFX University. As one of my first projects, Brandon was helpful and supportive to me as I found my way through the process. Having worked in this industry for a while now I look back and think how patient Brandon and his group were in bringing that project online. I relied heavily on Norex advice and was happy with the result.
