Description:

The seed of success was a philosophy for Mike Rappaport and his team at Chariot Solutions. Mike Started Chariot in 2002 with a modest amount of angel money, an invaluable group of mentors and founding employees, and a team-wide commitment to quality, discipline, and both customer and employee satisfaction. The company quickly developed a reputation for quality that has led to consistent growth, and a brand that has a strong appeal to both clients and recruits. Chariot is now worth millions and is recognized as Philadelphia's top workplace among small businesses in 2010 as rated by the Philadelphia Inquirer. And it all started with Philosophy.

In this lecture, Mike will recount the values that Chariot was founded upon, and how they led to moves and strategies that got Chariot funding, built a team of top employees and achieved high-end deals for their company. Learn what it takes to hire and retain top talent, land big deals as a startup and grow based on revenue. This is not to be missed by anyone looking to grow a business, not just launch a startup.

We would like to welcome Wharton Small Business Development Center as a new sponsor and PSL partner. We're excited to collaborate with them in this new year as we all work to make Philly a better place to live and start a company, and we're very grateful to them for the use of their space. Video production by Paul Shannon of Real Arts Media. Tickets are free thanks to TicketLeap.
