These companies business models are similar: they sell software to large corporate clients and focus on servicing smaller customers.

2. How Did Your Backgrounds Help In Founding And Growing Dante Labs?

Having a background in software development, corporate management, and project management made me especially good at managing the result of my products. Having worked in many similar industries and studying healthcare, I knew what customers want and how to present them with technology. I had a clear idea of what my customers needed and how to build products that could meet and improve their needs.

The culture at Dante Labs is one of openness, appreciation, empowerment, and fun. We do not want to be viewed as a “corporate-like” environment that stifles creativity. We do work hard, but we also play hard. We are indeed a team of people with diverse interests.
