Chief Strategy Officer & CoFounder @ Inspect Point | The Fire Protection Podcast | Fire Protection Software for Fire Protection Specialists

Before starting Inspect Point, I’d never run a business before. I didn’t come from a software background either. However, I did possess a great deal of firsthand knowledge about the fire protection industry and had some great sales experience under my belt. With that working in my favor, I needed a team to complement my strengths and account for my blind spots. Enter Padraic Doyle and Philip Sirigiano Jr, two expert developers and startup-minded gurus with excellent technical knowledge. Last but not least, Jennifer Doyle rounded off our team with her ability to develop a process and structure that would keep us on task - and plenty of customer success know-how as well. All four of us have vastly different skill sets and backgrounds, but we come together like pieces of a puzzle. With their expertise, even a software outsider like me was able to jump on board and offer my own strengths to build up the team. The best advice I can give to those building a business from scratch is to find co-founders with skill sets that complement your own. With that approach, you can build out a balanced team that has every base covered.
