Bill, Tessa, and a Reuben are back together in the studio to discuss what successful homeowner looks like. It’s all about running your household like a business. Everything shares how they budget for major items in their home, and what types of items should be budgeted for on a regular basis. Reuben waxes on the book Profit First by Mike Michalowicz and explains how he and his wife have furthered that method by setting up several personal bank account that are dedicated to saving for specific things. Reuben also goes on a small tangent about guards vs guardrails, mostly because his deck guard is about to collapse. Reuben discusses the term “winning a new roof” because of hail damage, and gets whipped up about how everyone replaces their roofs because of hail, only because this is what insurance companies are willing to pay for. The gang also discusses the value in HomeBinder, a digital home management app and website that the folks at Structure Tech are so in love with that they’ve started including free to all of their clients with every home inspection. Reuben also shares his personal experience in selling a home with a HomeBinder that was completed and ready to go for the next homeowners.

Sal's Investment Syndicates: Investment Syndicates 101 The dispersal of medical equipment by the move to outpatient medicine has presented a huge opportunity for repeat founder Jinesh Patel. His startup, UptimeHealth, provides outsourced monitoring of the complex compliance requirements of equipment located at the proliferating outpatient facilities. UptimeHealth is also creating a marketplace for service technicians to reduce response times and costs. Jinesh’s affable manner and clear understanding of this promising market made this a delightful interview. Highlights include: Sal Daher’s Intro Jinesh Patel’s Bio + Shoutout to Betsy Scherer of Venture Lane Startup Hub What UptimeHealth Does and Why It’s Important “So, we're finding healthcare facilities are not understanding the best way to manage compliance at, what we call a fragmented level.” The Founding Story of UptimeHealth Having Managed Medical Equipment Gave Jinesh the Ability to See the Opportunity Presented by the Shift to Outpatient Care that Created a Need for Outsourced Management and Compliance Support Most Medical Devices Are Internet of Things-Enabled but that IoT Connection Is Off Due to Security Concerns UptimeHealth’s First Product Is Basically a Digital Checklist of Equipment and Required Tasks Parallels Between UptimeHealth, HomeBinder and Squadle; The Binder-Replacement Business Connections Between UptimeHealth and Cohealo Comparison with Meenta “…we've created the industry's first marketplace for biomedical technicians to gain work and access to these outpatient healthcare facilities.” “So, the uptime of your device has improved. The service response time has improved. The quality of customer service has improved.” Why Jinesh Patel Came to Boston to Start UptimeHealth Sal Talks About His Syndicates – Tells About His Investment in FineTune Learning UptimeHealth’s Go-to-Market Strategy – Land & Expand “…because we're the first people in this market doing exactly what we're doing it. There's no one who's paved a pathway to how to get this done. So, a lot of it is learning, trial balloon testing, A/B experimenting, whatever it looks like.” “…, if we can predict who's going to need new equipment in the next year, we're now a sales engine for people selling medical equipment of the exact same category.” Target Vision – How Jinesh Patel Fell into Entrepreneurship “So, if you're both shooting at the same piece of paper, we can tell you who shot which bullet hole.” "I'm young. There's a lot of time I have to correct whatever happens if it goes south." “…I love entrepreneurship because every day is so different. Every challenge is a new strategy.” Jinesh’s Concluding Thoughts Of Advisors and Mentors Jinesh Says: “…the percentage of actual follow up was so high. I didn't understand like, "Oh, these are real people really trying to help."” “There's a big difference between meaning to help and knowing how to help. I think that in the ecosystem here in Boston, there's a lot of practice on what do you do to help somebody when somebody asks you for this kind of help.”

Invest Alongside Boston's Top Angels:  Click Here to Learn About Our Syndicates Still in his thirties and still working full-time, Phillip Lachman is a leader at Walnut Ventures. How this startup exec finds time to invest as an angel is a remarkable story. Clever, articulate and full of good cheer, Phillip is always a delightful interlocutor. Fun episode! Highlights: How Phillip leverages his angel network and modern means of communication to work full-time and still be an active angel. Phillip’s first angel investment was in a company called CoolChip, in which Sal also invested. The company went under but Phillip and Sal still greatly respect the founder. Will Sanchez, PhD and his co-founders provided an example of how to wind up a failed venture. Phillip and Sal would gladly invest in a future venture of Will Sanchez. He showed a sterling character in difficult circumstances. Will is actually friends with Shakeel Avadhany, CEO & co-founder of ClearMotion where Phillip works. Phillip explains his approach to early-stage investing. He looks for founders with whom he has a rapport, a sense of shared values. Phillip looks for grit and perseverance in the character of the founders, considering the enormous obstacles founders have to overcome. Phillip relies on emotional intelligence to gauge the commitment of founders. He looks for the ability to be good stewards of investor money, for the ability to listen and the determination to solve problems. Sal tells the story of his investment in PIKA Energy, recently acquired by Generac. Two MIT frat brothers eager to democratize the wind turbine business. PIKA discovered that the real business was creating circuits to manage the load from the various alternative energy sources in an efficient way. Their partnership with Panasonic batteries gave Powerwall from Tesla a good run for its money. Sal invites you to consider his syndicates. Phillip talks about one of this podcast’s favorite founders “Action Jack” Huntress of HomeBinder as an example of someone who has his act together as an entrepreneur. Fundraising tip from Phillip Lachman: no does not mean no forever; it means no right now. If an angel turns you down, continue to keep that angel in the loop on your raise. That’s how Jack Huntress got Phillip to invest in HomeBinder. Sal talks about how hard it is to resist the temptation to play business analyst when deciding to invest in a startup. The angel should focus on the team, provided the market is large enough. If the team is really great, let them figure out the business. On pitch decks, Phillip Lachman emphasizes having a simple explanation of the business the startup is in. Fearless Angel Joe Caruso also made the same point in his interview. Keep in mind that angel investors are usually intelligent generalists. Don’t assume deep familiarity with industry jargon. Phillip Lachman is also a fan of Kendall Tucker of Polis, a startup with sophisticated software to inform door-knocking campaigns. Polis, a Techstar alum, has raised $2.5 MM in seed funding from Haystack VC whose portfolio also includes DoorDash and Instacart. Kendall Tucker, like Jack Huntress, is a founder who stays engaged with her investors. Reaching out for help and keeping investors informed with regular reports. Regular reporting has many virtues that founders may not appreciate. Encapsulate the key take-aways in the subject line. Remember that you’re fighting for mind share with your investors. Phillip makes a point about building credibility by saying what you’re going to do and then doing what you said you were going to do. Seems obvious but too many founders fall into the trap of over-promising. ClearMotion, where Phillip works, started out in 2009 trying to harness energy being dissipated by shock absorbers with the goal of increasing fuel efficiency of military vehicles by 1 or 2 percent. Given how hard it was to build business with the government, ClearMotion (formerly Levant Power) pivoted in 2012 to building active suspensions to improve the ride of automobiles. The goal is to “erase the road” so as to improve the quality of the time when a rider is in motion ClearMotion has grown a lot. It’s raised $290 million in funding and now employs about 210 people. They expect to get their first order later this year. New England’s bumpy roads are the ideal lab for ClearMotion. Think how valuable the company’s tech will be when autonomous vehicles start transiting our bumpy roads. ClearMotion aims to make the time riding autonomous vehicles as usable as possible. What if they could eliminate motion sickness? ClearMotion’s technology creates maps on a cloud that track where there are road bumps, thus enabling vehicles to react appropriately. These maps are constantly updated by sensors on vehicles. Insurance companies may appreciate the reduction of wear and tear on vehicles. Municipalities will have very precise information about the condition of roads in their jurisdiction. Shakeel Avadhany of ClearMotion is a truly exceptional founder. He has the talent of bending reality to make seemingly impossible things happen. Shakeel is also great at motivating the organization to keep making constant improvements. NextGen Partners, in which Phillip participates, employs a network-driven venture investing model. NexGen’s community of more than a thousand partners helps originate interesting deal flow and provides needed expertise for due diligence. Founders appreciate the significant funding and support that NextGen can mobilize. Phillip and Sal invite listeners to consider angel investing wherever they live. They describe the rewards of being angel investors. Sal invites listeners to follow the splendid example of Phillip Lachman and leave a review on iTunes.

Invest Alongside Boston's Top Angels: Link to Our Syndicates Page Action Jack Barker move over! Chainsaw Jack Huntress is the real deal. CEOs don’t get more dynamic than this geologist turned founder. Jack's startup, HomeBinder offers invaluable tools to help homeowners manage and record work done on their most valuable asset. It’s getting real traction via home inspectors eager to help home buyers. Breaking News: HomeBinder is in Techstars! Special mention in this episode:  Ed Hosepian and Dean Kahr. Thanks for your generous help in the purchase of the big, dilapidated house in Cambridge. Guys, you were right! Jack Huntress trained as a geologist and geophysicist then worked as a consultant for decades. Acted as an intrapreneur in building a new practice at an existing firm. No Conjoined Triangles of Success for this Jack – he’s a truly action-prone CEO. How “Chainsaw Jack” got his name. Story told by super angel and CEO whisperer Joe Caruso (Link to Joe Caruso Episode Page) Jack’s owned a bunch of homes including one built in the 1700s. Having been orphaned at an early age he had to come up to speed fast on home maintenance. Homeowner is more like a home steward. Lack of continuity on home maintenance information. HomeBinder solves that problem. Jack bought a house from an owner who had a binder with loads of details about the house including paint colors, receipts for work done, warranties and manuals. This gave Jack the idea for HomeBinder. We homeowners did not have a good way to keep information about the home before HomeBinder. Proactive home maintenance rather than reactive. For the most valuable asset homeowners own, their house. Home inspectors create binder for homeowner, making their life easier. Integrated into home inspection software. Someday, you won’t buy a house without a HomeBinder report. Sal thanks Jack for helping in a crucial moment in the purchase of big dilapidated house in Cambridge. Thank you, Ed and Dean! Getting tens of thousands of HomeBinders set up by home inspectors. Need to enlist other players in the home buying process to grow even faster. Building valuable data on the home. Can tell you about the electricians and plumbers who will show up. Really important! Biggest complaint for plumbers & electricians is that they don’t call you back. Career advice for your kid who’s handy but not a great student. Get the kid into the trades; they’re not going away! HomeBinder is like a drip campaign for the home inspectors in helping inspectors stay in touch with home owners. Sal reads inspiring review from listener Andy_C_B. He points out an underappreciated objective of the podcast, to inspire young people to take on big challenges. Please leave a review on iTunes. Jack’s pivot. Thought real estate brokers were the best initial channel for HomeBinder. Discovered they were not. Real estate agents actually do few transactions per year compared to home inspectors. Average home inspector does 250 to 300 home per year. Home inspectors are ideally positioned to create the HomeBinder. Jack used to dodge managing people; he’s now embraced people management in his startup. Jack Huntress thinks people management can be greatly improved to the huge benefit of our economy. When you get a high-performing team it’s glorious. We should want to go to work. HomeBinder will be in Techstars Boston this year. Inspired by Clem Cazalot of Techstars to apply. Ideas are easy, getting it right is far more valuable than being the first to do something. There was Friendster, then there was My Space and then there was Facebook. Instant success that’s taken seven years. TED Talk by Bill Gross, a very useful way for angels and founders to spend seven minutes: (https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gross_the_single_biggest_reason_why_startups_succeed?language=en) CORRECTION: during the interview I mentioned Bill Gross, the bond genius. The Bill Gross I should have mentioned is the startup genius with the TED Talk linked above. The biggest factor for startup success is market timing, i.e. Lots of companies throw in the towel and a year later their market takes off. Why Jack decided to start a company. Jack was not a good fit at a large company; too impatient with things not being done right. First run at it was as an intrapreneur. Starting a company is like an itch. Like Jack’s need to build potato canons, trebuchets and the like. If you find yourself spending too much time on your hobby and too little time at work, you should take the hint that you’re in the wrong job. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone was a ditherer but his future father in law was not. Filed patent on the telephone just hours prior to another person. Jack’s story about Arthur D. Little & Co. Invented synthetic penicillin, color contact lenses, inkjet printing etc. Sold at a fire sale. Biggest obstacle was raising money. Bootstrapped for four years. Jack read his family into the business he was founding, yet being a startup CEO has been a very lonely experience. Techstars is a great place to find peers to talk to. Sal recommends finding a board member/investor that you can open up to. Jack Huntress’ parting thoughts: founders need to take care of themselves. Eat well, exercise and get enough sleep. Brings to mind wisdom of Brendan Schwartz that you can’t out hustle the competition, you can only out think them. How are you going to out think the competition if you’re exhausted from working twenty-hour days? Link to the Wistia Episode
