Podcast_015: Locke Berkebile – Co-Founder Crewchief Systems

Create a Category Leader! Co-Founder Locke Berkebile discusses how he and his co-founder Aaron De Zafra approached digitizing the aircraft maintenance industry over knocking around the idea at a poker game. He also discusses the importance of a Founder’s Agreement, and why its important. Making the leap from corporate to starting a business with friends or family is wrought with risk, so having those hard conversations in advance makes sense. In addition, the potential to be a disruptor in other industries simply by looking at growing industries and looking at what supporting processes need improvement. You won’t want to miss what Locke has to say about this, starting a company during COVID and other topics. Enjoy!
