S3 E16: Ron Rock, Microshare

Born and raised in Philly, Ron Rock put himself through college, working at Denny's as a midnight chef. He is a life long entrepreneur, and started his first business when he was in his 20's. He's married with 3 adult children, of whom he is very proud of. He spends a lot of time restoring old furniture and cars. In fact, when he was a kid, he was the guy all his friends brought their 10 speed bikes to to be fixed - which of course, changed to cars as they got older. Basically, he has always been building things either at work or at home. Post his other successful startups, one of which he sold to Accenture, he was intrigued by the space at the intersection of cloud and mobile, in the enterprise. He set out to combine disparate data sources that employees were required to use - digital signatures, smartphones, salesforce - after enterprises spent the last many years having locked everything down. When he started to pursue this, he noticed that iOt sensors were going to put his core mission on steroids. Four years ago, his company pivoted to be solely focused on iOt & commercial real estate - to create smart, clean, safe - and connected - facilities. This is the creation story of Microshare.
