Entrepreneurs have to overcome a lot in order to be successful. Matt Beck, co-founder of Pearlabs and deanalert.com, more than others. Earlier this year Matt was mugged outside his office in broad daylight. The assailants knocked him to the ground, stole his wallet, iPhone and laptop. Matt, not one to give up without a fight, chased one thief down in flip-flops, "subdued" him and got his phone back and held him till the police arrived.
I have been working with the team at Pearlabs and deanalert over the past year and have been impressed with their success. With only minimal friends and family money they have bootstrapped both organizations and are showing significant traction with dean alert. Below is a video Matt put together to answer a few questions I posed on the history of his two start-ups and other interesting facts.
