One screen for all your apps How Stack is changing the way we interact with the internet | By Alexis Boddy
A
s John Lennon famously sang: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” For entrepreneur David Gavasheli, the idea for a revolutionary new internet launchpad came about while he and his cofounders were busy working on something entirely different. The project they had initially embarked on was constantly slowed down by the exasperating amounts of time spent clicking between tabs, dealing with notifications and managing desktop apps. There was no centralised place to see, store and manage all of these different applications. And so, Stack was born. Many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of becoming so wrapped up in their initial idea that they suffer from a lack of insight, possibly missing out on great opportunities. So we spoke to David about entrepreneurship, the importance of pragmatism and the essential ability to learn, grow and adapt. How did you develop a passion for entrepreneurship? My father was one of the first entrepreneurs in Georgia. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989, he incorporated one of the very first independent companies in Georgia which is now the biggest mall in the region. When I was growing up, I saw him doing business with a diverse range of people and I really enjoyed watching him work. His passion and drive was absolutely my inspiration to become an entrepreneur.
