Insightful Entrepreneur magazine article from Richard Sarkis, CEO of portfolio company Reonomy, on his journey from working out of a supply closet to launching a leading national data and analytics platform for commercial real estate. The startup is no longer shying away from working with data partners that help Reonomy accomplish its ultimate mission - providing valuable insights and scaling across the nation.
At Reonomy, our greatest skill wasn’t collecting data, but turning it into something valuable, something that could bring serious material benefits to our users. If we’d understood this earlier on, we might have been able to avoid many of the difficulties we encountered leading up to our LA launch. If you can successfully navigate a nonlinear trajectory during the early stages of launching and growing a business, you’ll be prepared for the other inevitable changes in store for both your ompany and industry.
