"We're not building a unicorn. We're building a workhorse." - Justin Borgman
As a 2-time founder, Justin saw entrepreneurship as a way to have an impact on the world. He & his employees wanted to do something to help fight against COVID-19, so they made their whole enterprise solution free to COVID-19 researchers. That鈥檚 true impact. That鈥檚 wanting your work to do good in the world.

鈥 His impetus for entrepreneurship arrived at age 12
鈥 The differences between his 1st and 2nd companies
鈥 Company culture & values (not 鈥渢he Silicon Valley mentality鈥)
鈥 How he views his competitors
