Wendy CEO Lance Neuhauser bootstrapped his first company to an exit. He venture funded his second company and exited after 10 years. He is about to launch his third. Read on, great story.

Lance Newhauser: Thank you for having me here. I really appreciate the opportunity. Your mission is admirable, and I love that you’re helping companies grow across the world.

CEO Ganesh Shankar and his two co-founders have built Responsive with a very small amount of capital. They started by Bootstrapping with a Paycheck and are now at over $50 million in revenue. Excellent execution, much to learn on many issues.
Sramana Mitra: Ganesh, let’s start at the very beginning of your journey. Where are you from? Where were you born, raised? What kind of background?
Ganesh Shankar: I’m originally from Coimbatore, India, down south. My entire childhood and my studies – undergrad and postgrad – were all in Coimbatore, the place where I was born and raised. I come from a family of government employees. There’s a saying in our family: “Even if you get a quarter cent, it better be coming from the government.” This was instilled in us by my grandmother, a strong character in our family. My dad works in the agriculture department, and my dad’s brother is a retired army colonel.
