Recommendation

Aytekin Tank kept his day job long after he started Jotform. His approach to developing his company, which helps people create more functional online forms, was to find a solution to a common problem and to do it slowly. Now, fully 10 million people use Jotform products. Writing in Entrepreneur, Tank shares his best advice on how to build your business sustainably, from finding an idea to gaining customers to developing your company’s culture. For Tank, leading means setting parameters and providing support as staff members build their confidence and expand their knowledge. He discusses how to delegate well and advises getting help when you need it – before you start drowning in your inbox. 

Take-Aways

  • Jotform’s founder Aytekin Tank took his time building his company – without outside funding.
  • The idea for your company should come “directly from need,” not from a brainstorming session.
  • Take the time to build a culture that works for your business model.
