Simplicity clears space so I can think big and build the future. — Michael Koch

"My personal style of leadership centers around being a visionary in the technology industry and constantly looking into the future."

"Attracting and retaining talent is a skill in and of itself. There is a lot of competition for the best developers in the world, so you must be able to articulate your vision and get them to believe in it, because a bootstrapped startup will never have the resources of Google, Meta or OpenAI."

"One of the ways I achieve this is through building a culture that embraces innovation."

"Now, these local tactics are also overlaid by the entire national marketing calendar, we have all the regional marketing calendars, so our AI brain takes all that into consideration when we make that local recommendation to be able to best activate that tactic."

"At the end of the day, a startup’s purpose is not to build a product or find customers. It is to understand, find and solve a specific problem, and sell the solution to customers grappling with that problem."

"The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack."
