We welcome Robert Reddick to the Charlotte Angel Connection today.  Robert is a Co-Founder with GateStaff and has been a part of the Charlotte startup scene for nearly 20 years.

Throughout the next two podcasts, you will learn Robert was one of the first people to sign up on Linkedin (listen in to find out his number and then go try to find yours) and has a passion for seeing entrepreneurship take off in Charlotte.  As part of his involvement in the startup scene for the last 20 years – or more – you will hear his opinion on what we can do differently to attract talent and grow the startup scene.

You will also hear the thoughts of a startup founder who is working to thread a tight needle – be early to a new space without being so early that adopters won’t jump on the bandwagon.  Knowing he’s done this act before leads us down the difficult acknowledgement that startups aren’t easy and their success isn’t guaranteed.  But we also get to see the passion of a man who has been building up to this for the last 20 years, or more.
