MILKCRAFT'S OFFBEAT FLAVORS A DRAW

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

I

n a matter of weeks, 27-year-old entrepreneur David Mainiero has turned what some assumed to be a folly of a business idea — opening an ice cream shop to compete with Fairfield’s well- established favorites — into a brick-and-mortar reality scooping up a sweet share of business faster than he ever expected.

“It has been craziness,” the Harvard Law School graduate, who also owns real estate investment and educational consulting firms in New Haven, said of his first month in operation in the ice cream trade.

Webster Bank fast-tracks loans for small businesses

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com WEBSTER BANK IS TOUTING A new program, “Fast Track,” a loan service for small-business owners that has cut the average wait time for approval from about 60 days to an average of 15 days — and sometimes 24 hours — for loans of $100,000 or less.

“We’ve had a great response,” said John Guy, executive vice president and director of business banking at Webster Bank headquarters in Waterbury. “There’s a lot of buzz within the industry about our customers’ ability to get their loans approved in such a short time.”

In the first five months of the

Fast Track program, Guy said that Webster Bank funded $10 million worth of loans in such fields as legal, real estate and financial services, with an average loan size of $45,000.

Driving Fast Track’s launch was a combination of internal research and customer surveys finding that, regardless of the size of a given company or loan, the period between a customer signing a loan and receiving the money was taking more than two months’ time. The bank maintains that small businesses sometimes have to suspend operations during that waiting period.

As a community bank,

Webster — with branches throughout Connecticut and New York’s Westchester County, as well as in Massachusetts and Rhode Island — takes the position that it is more approachable to individual customers and more adept at working with them than are larger financial institutions — a claim with which Fast Track customer Michael Negri agrees.

“I’ve had dealings with Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank,” said Negri, owner of Choice Paper Group in Larchmont in Westchester County. Having once spent nine months waiting to get refinancing at one of the big John Guy

degree through medication, “The same isn’t true of breast cancer. The cancer cells are so clever, so adept at getting around everything you can throw at them.”

Timlin-Scalera took heart from President Barack Obama’s announcement during his 2016 State of the Union address of the establishment of the National Cancer Moonshot Initiative to accelerate cancer research. The initiative — led by Vice President Joe Biden — aims to make more therapies available to more patients, while also improving efforts at preventing cancer and detecting it at an early stage.

What truly struck her, she said, was her discovery that only about 7 percent of breast cancer research funding goes to studying treatment for metastatic breast cancer — leaving that significant community feeling underserved or even ignored.

As a result, Timlin-Scalera started The Cancer Couch Foundation, named to reflect her private practice in Norwalk, which will present researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston with the proceeds it raises through its thecancercouch.com website and a number

of fundraising events; the institutions have promised to match every dollar donated. As The Cancer Couch is an entirely volunteerbased organization, Timlin-Scalera said 100 percent of its income will be donated, probably in 6-month increments starting later this year.

“The research work just isn’t being done,” Timlin-Scalera said. Together with other likeminded groups such as Met Up — named for metastatic cancer patients — her organization is aiming to raise that 7 percent for research to 30 percent.

The Cancer Couch’s scheduled events include a June 17 “Last Day of School!” fundraiser at Westport’s Saugatuck Sweets, in which teams of students kindergarten to twelfth grade will compete to see who can eat the most ice cream in five minutes; the four-person teams are required to raise at least $200 in pledges to qualify.

In addition, The Cancer Couch is hosting a Sept. 10 benefit concert featuring The English Beat (one of Timlin-Scalera’s favorite groups) at The Warehouse in Fairfield.

“Now that I got out of the hospital a couple of weeks ago,” she said, “I’m committed to putting together more special events.”

“I’m excited to recommend HealthyCT to my clients because they’re local, non-profit, community focused and provide excellent service.

In fact, I like HealthyCT so much that I chose them for my family!” ~ Cesar Cortes, Managing Partner, Premier Advisory Group

Three elements to creating business out of busyness

full of busyness.

The term is, admittedly overused.

Corporate boondoggles and high-level initiatives with no life are often labeled “strategy.”

Strategy should help focus the company on a winning course of action. Its purpose is to align the efforts of all participants and ensure that the company delivers value for the customers and creates wealth for its investors.

Companies, large or small, that do not have a working strategy will end up chasing everything that can be done in a given moment. Busyness leading only to more busyness. The end result is internally competing initiatives, politicking and an escalation of wasted time and resources.

Fortunately creating a useful strategy does not need to be a complex exercise; there is nothing mysterious about it. Building a successful strategy requires three essential elements: A GOAL. This can be a problem that needs to be overcome, a challenge that needs to be addressed or achieving a vision for the development of something entirely new. A good goal is one that stretches the entire company and requires a coordinated effort by all. Establishing the importance of this goal — the “reason” behind the drive toward an end — and bringing others to buy into agreement with the importance of the goal is fundamental.

THE APPROACH REACHING THAT GOAL. The important step here is to decide how the company will achieve the goal. Often there are myriad approaches and many considerations including market forces, competition and business constraints that impact the decision. Defining and refining the approach can take time, but it can also be as simple as merely deciding: This is how we are going to do things.

A PLAN OF ACTION. This plan will detail who will do what. It should have clear and executable actions and it should include metrics to assess performance and efficacy of the strategy. The plan enables execution and measuring results allows the company to refine and improve the strategy.

In the simplest form such a strategy is easy. If, for example, the goal were to cut down a tree, the goal would be pretty simple: cut it down. The next step would be to determine which course bringing down the tree would be most appropriate, using a chain saw (big tree) or a weeding fork (sapling) — the approach. Finally, a plan of action would engage the tree according to the approach and measure your results (tree down or not).

Such a simple plan is great for one tree.

But if there were a thousand trees to bring down — or a business to run — the strategy would become more challenging. The goal

would not be as clear, the approach would require more thought and market assessment and the plan would be more detailed.

This is where strategy becomes challenging — good strategy requires choices between mutually exclusive goals. A business cannot do everything. Instead, managers must determine what their competitive advantage is and how they can use this advantage to generate value for the company.

Likewise, the approach must fit the goal and be capable of delivering results in a complex and changing market. Developing such an approach requires managers to step out of their day-to-day activities and think creatively about the best way to accomplish goal.

Finally, the action plan must be broken down into specific, tangible and achievable actions. If this is not done well, the company will fall back into busyness and struggle with execution. Failure here is often the result of not being specific enough or creating action steps that are too broad — such as “get customers” or “grow revenue.” Such vague statements are useless as guides for managers and associates as to what actions to take that will deliver the desired, measurable results.

Developing a strategy is important to maintaining focus on business goals. The process does not need to be long and difficult. But, it does involve thinking, planning in advance and making hard choices. This can be challenging, but if management doesn’t do it, the rest of the company won’t either.

And without a strategy any company will invariably degrade into a bunch of people who are busy throughout their day in the hope that something works. Putting the time and effort into creating a clear strategy is a better way. It is also the only way to convert mere busyness into a successful business.

For all practical purposes, businesses record transactions utilizing two different accounting methods (two sets of books), which often have opposing objectives.

The first is maintained to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP books) and the second is to comply with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC books). The GAAP books are presented to internal and external stakeholders, AARON PELACCIA including third party lenders and SEC regulators, while the IRC books support the company’s tax return. Often, the two sets result in very different bottom lines.

A CEO wants the GAAP books to show a strong profit and balance sheet in order to meet debt covenants and show vendors, prospects (customers, acquisition targets, or potential buyers of the business), and investors that the company is healthy and profitable. The IRC books should minimize taxable income at both the entity level and shareholder level.

Choosing the proper accounting methods will be determined based on the business’s legal form, gross receipts, credit being extended to customers, inclusion of inventory, and tax laws established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). An accounting method includes an overall method to record the majority of transactions, as well as different treatments which are applied to specific transactions.

GAAP Books The most common accounting method for financial statement reporting is the accrual basis. This method records revenue when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred.

GAAP rules are designed to record transactions consistent with their economic effect, and not, for instance, by how a legal document may have been structured. GAAP rules are complex and, like tax rules, can change on an annual basis. Other acceptable methods for financial statement reporting include the cash basis, modified cash basis, and tax basis.

Tax Books The options of accounting methods for tax books include cash, accrual, special methods (specially designed for specified items of income and expense), or a combination method which combines components of two or more of any of these methods. The method that is chosen will depend on several factors, some of which the taxpayer has control over and some of which are dictated by IRS rules. The selection of an appropriate accounting method can have an immediate and sizeable impact on the company’s and shareholder’s tax liability and overall exposure to tax risk. Establishing an efficient tax structure is one of the most challenging and often overlooked components of running a company.

Tax Books - Cash Method Many businesses are permitted to use the cash method as the overall method of accounting, which records revenue at the time payments are received, and expenses at the time they are paid.

The cash method allows the business owner to significantly influence taxable income primarily by controlling when expenses are recognized.

There are special rules: for instance when purchasing capital items, and when property or services are received in place of cash.

Tax Books - Accrual Method The accrual method for tax begins as it does for GAAP, but deviates on treatment of particular items when booking income and expense. For the accrual method of accounting, the entity will commonly report income in the year it was earned and deduct or capitalize expenses in the year they are incurred. The accrual method, unlike the cash method, results in a better matching of revenue and expenses in the year earned and incurred, respectively. There are special rules that relate to payments made in advance, estimating earnings, and altering a payment schedule for services performed. In general, you deduct or capitalize an expenditure when the all-events test has been met (all events have occurred that establish the fact of liability and the liability can be determined with reasonable accuracy) and when economic performance has occurred.

Tax Books - Combination Method An entity can use any combination of cash, accrual, and special methods of accounting if the combination clearly reveals your income and expenses for the period and it is applied consistently throughout. Some restrictions apply to the use of this method, including the presence of inventory and the requirement to account for revenue and expenses using the same overall method.

Worth the Trouble Business owners should understand there are ever-changing opportunities to minimize taxable income while maximizing net income for financial reporting purposes. Some of these opportunities are time-sensitive and can be expensive and difficult to reverse. Understanding both sets of books requires continual discussions with the right financial consultants and is time well spent.

A MESSAGE FROM CITRIN COOPERMAN FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of June 6, 2016 5

Milkcraft — » » From page 1

down to the corner of Fairfield’s Brick Walk shopping center, Mainiero said Milkcraft, his all-natural small batch ice creamery is off to a stellar start due to its combination of style and flavor.

“First of all, we think there is plenty of business to go around. People like ice cream,” he said. “Second, we are quite a different product. Not even making comparative or qualitative statements, it is a totally different experience.”

Social media outlets have been a major source of attention for the startup, with photos of Milkcraft’s eye-catching and unique ice cream products making the rounds on Instagram and Facebook. With a wave of social media driving in new customers,

It was a tough decision for me to give up on law. It was what I thought I wanted to do my entire life. But I really like charting my own path. I feel like I just have much more ownership over my work and feel a sense of accomplishment with what I make rather than fighting to feel like I have a seat at the table.

— David Mainiero

Mainiero estimated the ice creamery is drawing between 800 and 900 people per day on busy weekends and ringing up 530 to 540 individual sales those days at an average of $14 each.

“There has been no time to breathe or even start hiring more people to help out,” he said.

At Milkcraft one won’t find your typical sugar cone or traditional trinity of vanilla,

banks, he said that he happened to be driving past a Webster branch with a sign promoting its friendliness to small businesses and entrepreneurs and decided to go in.

“I discussed what I was looking for in detail and what they could provide me,” said Negri. His company deals primarily in copy paper, “a very capital-intensive business. I

chocolate and strawberry flavors. Instead, the creamery serves scoops of liquid nitrogen-frozen flavors such as roasted banana peanut butter and jelly, strawberry balsamic and s’mores campfire served in Hong Kong bubble cones — Milkcraft’s take on a Belgian waffle — or stuffed into a glazed donut-like “creameebun.”

While blueberry-dyed ice cream topped with cereal flakes erupting from a hotoff-the-press waffle is a sight to see, the real highlights are the ingredients, said Mainiero. Milkcraft’s dairy products are sourced from county and state producers and free of hormones and antibiotics — what Mainiero decribes as cow-to-cone fresh.

“It is the freshest possible ice cream you can get. The next closest thing is going to a farm to get ice cream.”

Another notable attribute of Milkcraft’s ice cream is its preparation. Flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen — a mist of liquid nitrogen covers the counters tops as a customer’s order is made — the preparation prevents the formation of ice crystals, allowing the ingredients to better bind and creating the ice cream’s signature smooth texture, Mainiero said.

“This will taste like the creamiest, richest ice cream you’ve ever had, but it’s not like there is more butter fat or additional caloric value. It’s not custard, it’s just smoother because the water doesn’t freeze up and break things apart.”

Mainiero’s venture into ice cream retailing owes in part to his family’s multigenerational history in the restaurant business.

The entrepreneur’s parents, David and Lynn, have founded a number of eateries, including two Fairfield County restaurants in the 1990s, Spazzi of Fairfield and Sonoma in Southport, in addition to restaurants in Florida and California.

The inspiration behind the Hong Kong bubble cones came from Mainiero’s travels in China, where he operates branches of his New Haven-based educational consulting firm InGenius Prep. There he discovered, ji dan zai, a popular puffed pastry served by street vendors that was the model for his bubble cone.

A 2015 graduate of Harvard Law School, Mainiero also co-owns and operates a real estate investment firm, TopLiff Peak Enterprises LLC in New Haven. He said he plans to stick with the ice cream industry and rather than practice law, has incorporated his education into his businesses.

“It was a tough decision for me to give up on law. It was what I thought I wanted to do my entire life,” he said. “But I really like charting my own path. I feel like I just have much more ownership over my work and feel a sense of accomplishment with what I make rather than fighting to feel like I have a seat at the table.”

Employing 25 to 30 full-time and parttime workers and looking to hire more, par-

ticularly at the managerial level, Mainiero said he has no firm plans for franchising or expanding his business, although that could be on the horizon.

The serial entrepreneur said he started Milkcraft for less than $200,000, using his own funds. Future locations could be launched for as little as $50,000, depending on the area, he said.

“We would like to open a couple more corporate stores,” he said. “We are always open to investors who might be interested or interested in licensing out either by franchising or some other arrangement. We are looking in several cities including Port Chester, New Haven, Danbury. It is very locationdriven for us.”

buy from paper mills large overseas containers that cost $20,000 a unit. If I’m going through 30 to 40 units per month, capital is a very important ingredient.”

Completing the paperwork — which Guy said has been streamlined from an application of as much as five pages to two — on a Friday, Negri was approved for a $100,000 line of credit the following Monday.

“I plan on moving more of my assets to Webster and am hopeful that I can reapply for additional credit lines in the future and

give them more business,” he said.

Guy said the bank has already seen Fast Track pay for itself in such a way. “We have seen a significant reduction in withdrawals” by small businesses looking to remain liquid during the loan approval process, he said.

“We want to prove to them that there’s no need for them to shop elsewhere.”

To further ensure a quick turnaround, Guy said the bank no longer sends employees to its customers’ properties to assess the potential loan size, but does so only after a

decision has been made on the line of credit.

That usually happens within 24 hours of the original inquiry, thanks in part to an “auto-decisioning” process that is accessible online.

The banker said plans are afoot to make Fast Track available to all Webster customers seeking loans, including those for above $100,000, by the end of this year.

“This is the beginning of a new era,” said Guy, “one that’s much more efficient and customer-friendly.”

Striking Verizon workers back on the job

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

N

early 40,000 Verizon Communications employees who have been on strike since April returned to work on June 1.

The telecommunications company announced a tentative agreement May 30 with unions representing striking Verizon employees. The company said the agreement includes cost-savings measures, while the unions said it provides big gains for workers.

The unions, which represent workers primarily in Verizon’s network operations and consumer and mass business units, are celebrating the addition of 1,300 new call center jobs and 10.9 percent raises over the four years of the tentative deal.

Workers represented by the Members of the Communication Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers had been on strike since April 13.

“The addition of good new jobs at Verizon is a huge win not just for striking

S

workers, but for our communities and the country as a whole. This contract is a victory for working families across the country and an affirmation of the power of working people,” said Chris Shelton, president of the Communications Workers of America.

“It proves that when we stand together we can raise up working families, improve our communities and advance the interests of America’s working people.”

The deal also includes provisions that assure threatened call centers in the Mid-

Atlantic region will remain open, along with three of the five threatened centers in upstate New York.

For Verizon, the company said the deal allows for cost savings in health coverage, such as maintaining limits on postretirement health care costs and adopting Medicare Advantage plans for retirees.

“The new contracts will help ensure that Verizon employees continue to receive solid wages and excellent health care and retirement benefits,” said Marc Reed, Verizon’s

chief administrative officer. “They also include key changes sought by the company to better position our wireline business for success in the digital world.”

The strike included about 1,500 members of the CWA Local 1103, which represents about 2,000 workers and retirees in Westchester and Putnam counties and southern Connecticut.

Both unions still must vote to ratify the contracts. If approved, the agreements would run through August 2019.

STORAGE PROVIDER EXPANDING IN BAY STATE

tratford-based storage and logistics provider William B. Meyer Inc. of Stratford is further expanding into the Massachusetts market by opening an office in Northborough.

The company has been servicing its records management and office moving customers in the Bay State from its Windsor, Conn., office. New salespeople have been hired for the Northborough location, the company said.

Mike Racette, CEO of William B. Meyer Inc., said that “after such a momentous year of growth, building on previous years of steady profits, we’re looking toward the future and expanding our reach in the Northeast. We know that our values of dependability, hard work, and building long standing customer relationships will serve us well in Massachusetts.”

$146 billion of assets under management and is headed by billionaire founder and CEO Ray Dalio, had previously sought a $130 million package from the state to move to new offices in Stamford.

Connecticut is charging Bridgewater an interest rate of 1 percent, compared with its usual 2 to 4 percent lending rate and its roughly 3.25 percent cost of capital, Smith told Financial Times.

Bridgewater reportedly plans to spend a total of $527 million to expand its facilities in Westport, Wilton and Norwalk.

According to Institutional Investor’s Alpha’s 2016 Rich List, Dalio earned about $1.4 billion last year; per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, he is reportedly worth about $14.1 billion, making him the 60th richest person in the world.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Can this partnership be saved?

I have a partner who cuts corners all the time. I want to do things the right way.

Seems like we don’t see eye to eye very often. What should I do?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Start with goals to get clear about what each of you expect from the company. Think about how well matched the two of you are. Communicate a lot. Resolve your differences now.

In most instances, businesses with multiple partners tend to grow faster, have greater depth and last longer than companies with a single owner. That’s with three caveats: all partners need to be on the same page when it comes to big picture items, partners can agree to disagree on small issues and there’s a common understanding about what’s big versus small.

Lay out a picture of where you each want to take the company over the next three, five and 10 years. Look for common ground and inconsistencies. If you’re in agreement on the big picture, but disagree on tactics, that’s OK. But if you’re trying to go in two very different directions, you could end up pulling the company into pieces.

Check on the big issues: ethics, handling finances, workload, accountability, payoff, brand value, customer base, how employees are handled. It’s much easier if you both see the world the same way. In some instances it’s essential. For

example, if you agree to pursue a customer base that values price over quality, you better be prepared to make sacrifices on how the product or service is delivered. If you’re not willing to give on quality, find out now if your partner is ready to raise prices to afford what it will take to deliver a higher standard.

Differences can add value as you apply critical thinking to building the business. Divide tasks by playing to each other’s strengths. Avoid weaknesses that might be more problematic if you were the only one running the business. Just make sure that you both respect that there’s more than one way to reach an end goal.

If either of you is a control freak, be prepared to let go of that inclination now or think twice about going any further as partners. You can’t spend all your time second-guessing or countermanding each other. It’s wasteful and unnecessary.

Make sure you both can make a decision and move forward — and respect your partner for doing the same. You’re both going to make mistakes along the way. Make sure you can allow for failure in others as well as yourself. Also make sure your partner is as committed as you are to digging deep in order to fix problems once they occur.

Many problems arise because of misunderstandings.

Agree on how and how often you will communicate with your partner. Weekly meetings, daily email updates, written reports, monthly results reviews and quarterly check-ins are all tools to help you communicate. Use them. Err on the side

of over-communicating and make sure your partner is prepared to do the same.

If you disagree on a fundamental issue, such as ethics, don’t kid yourself. Move on now before you’re any more invested. Just make sure that it’s really substantive and not just stubbornness or ego talking.

Decide who holds the majority of shares. In most cases, majority shareholders ultimately get to decide. If shares are split equally, and no partner can make a decision without the other agreeing, set up a process for resolving disputes.

Set up responsibilities and authority of decision-making — CEO, CFO, chief of sales, marketing, operations, human resources, etc. Assign positions to your partner and yourself.

Clarify chain of command and what kinds of decisions need to be escalated. Make sure you can live with the level of authority granted to each of those positions.

A tech innovator marks 50 years in Stamford

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

G

oodway Technologies, a global manufacturer and marketer of industrial maintenance equipment for commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, is wrapping up its 50th anniversary by completing renovations to its Stamford facilities, adding some 20 employees and introducing a slate of new products.

Just how long it can stay in Stamford, however, is an open question.

“We’ve done everything we can to fight to stay here,” said Goodway President and CEO Timothy J. Kane. “It’s harder and harder to do so with each passing year.”

Kane cited the high cost of living in the area as well as transportation difficulties faced by employees living in lower Fairfield County and the state’s “challenging environ-

ment” when it comes to business-friendly practices as among his greatest concerns.

Connecticut was ranked 39th of 50 on Forbes magazine’s 2015 list of the best states for business.

Playing in Stamford’s favor is the $1 million loan Goodway received last year from the State Bond Commission to renovate its property; the company is eligible for $650,000 to be forgiven if it hits its employ-

ment targets, which Kane said should be completed by year’s end.

Goodway invested $1.7 million of its own to renovate its 2-acre facility at 420 West Ave., razing a main warehouse and replacing it with a much larger, modernized space of 15,000 square feet that will accommodate its shipping department expansion and production and assembly operations. The company employs 93 people and is about halfway toward its goal of hiring 20 new employees by year’s end, Kane said.

Goodway’s Stamford roots are strong.

Incorporated in 1966, it was founded by Norwegian immigrant Per Reichborn in the basement of his Stamford home as a firm focused entirely on selling a unique boiler-cleaning system. Since that time, the company’s inventory has steadily grown to encompass the entire HVAC space, including chillers, heat exchangers, cooling towers and

cleaning and maintenance products.

“We’re a category maker,” said Kane, who joined the company 21 years ago to work in its sales department. “HVAC workers used to use equipment from various suppliers that were not necessarily specifically intended for those uses, using pressure washers to clean coils that were sometimes very fragile.

We created a category of very specific solutions for commercial use.”

“We develop engineering-based solutions for customers to help them sustain their efforts and reduce their operating costs. Goodway is a brand that is very wellknown within the confines of our vertical marketplace. Building maintenance workers are fiercely loyal to our brand.”

Those customers are not limited to North America; Goodway also maintains sales arms in Central and South America, Europe, the Middle and Far East, Africa, and Australia. Kane said that about 17 percent of its annual business comes from approximately 125 international markets.

Also loyal are its employees, many of whom have been with the company for decades. “It’s very important to have this be a closely knit company,” Kane said, “one that’s vertically integrated, not outsourced.

It’s a relatively family-type environment — we have very liberal benefits policies that include impromptu days off. We’ve done nothing but grow for 50 years. People hang on for the ride and appreciate the company and what we’re doing.”

To keep its forward momentum going, Goodway is adding three new products developed, tested, manufactured and sold in Stamford by its employees, with a combined total of six patents pending. They include a new coil cleaner that utilizes dry chemical tablet technology to replace bulky, hazardous, and expensive liquid chemicals on job sites; the CoilShot, produced by Goodway subsidiary SpeedClean, which utilizes the same technology to provide residential and light commercial HVAC contractors with more economical, smaller, portable versions of existing Goodway products; and the TFC-200 system, designed to eradicate biological growth, debris and scale from cooling tower fill.

The firm also maintains a significant philanthropic presence in support of local, regional and national organizations, including Boys and Girls Club of America, Habitat for Humanity, Mystic Aquarium and Wounded Warriors. Goodway will match up to $100 of employee contributions to any charitable organization.

“If it makes sense to them, it makes sense to us as an organization,” Kane said. “That sends the message to our employees that we are an employer that takes giving back to the community seriously.”

TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATION

Stamford startup measures a booming digital media market

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

T

he Stamford Innovation Center is quickly gaining a reputation as the city and state’s launch pad for tech businesses with more than a dozen startups currently under its roof and several successful former tenants striking out on their own.

Among the innovation center’s alumni is Tru Optik, a digital media analytics company in Stamford that uses patented data collection technology to measure audiences who view digital media via the internet rather than through the traditional cable, satellite and other pay-television services.

According to co-founder and CEO Andre Swanston, Tru Optik is essentially on the cutting edge of the new frontier of media consumption as streaming media services like Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu and Roku and internet-connected televisions and gaming consoles are leading a generational shift in media consumption, along with unauthorized or pirated peer-to-peer downloads.

“What we realized is that everybody was chasing the same old stuff and using the same old tactics,” said Swanston, who started the business in 2013 with co-founder Alex Geis, Tru Optik’s chief technology officer.

“All of the audience measurement and consumer intelligence and insight that people are getting has been based off of the same core. There has been no innovation in the space. People are still using panels and surveys for TV data and consumer research,” Swanston said. “There is half a billion people around the world that download and stream movies, TV shows, video games, software, music, e-books from peer-to-peer sharing and nobody was measuring it.”

In a 2015 analysis, Tru Optik estimated that over 500 million consumers shared over $800 billion of digital media via peer-topeer networks in 2014. Movie and television content accounted for over half of all global download activity.

By measuring both the illegal and legal services by which consumers obtain and view media, Tru Optik has positioned itself as the only audience measurement and data management platform built for nontraditional media providers, also known as

over-the-top viewing.

Swanston, a vice president of investments at JPMorgan Chase from 2010 to 2012, started laying the groundwork for the company with Geis in 2011. “I reached out to him because he was the smartest person I knew,” Swanston said of his co-founder. “I can’t code - no tech background whatsoever.”

A year later, the two partners self-funded the company with roughly $220,000, 85 percent of which went to purchase the hardware necessary to store and analyze the massive amounts of data they would collect on tens of millions of unauthorized downloads exchanging hands across the internet.

“It doesn’t matter if some of it is considered piracy, from a pure data perspective, it is the largest and most granular and most indicative leading indicator of audience demand for a trillion dollars worth of media,” Swanston said of Tru Optik. “(If) the alternative to getting data from half a billion people is doing a survey on 2,500 people, which one is more valuable?”

Swanston, 35, traced the business acu-

men that led him to this niche market to his youth in the Bronx and his days as “the biggest club promoter and event promoter in southern New England” learning about the latest black-market music trends in the 1990s and 2000s.

“If people aren’t buying it or sharing it or downloading it or streaming it off-network, it’s not relevant. That’s indicative of what is going to perform commercially,” he said.

“That has always been my mentality. Even if you look at finance, you want to buy low and sell high. People are always looking for pockets of opportunity of understanding where trends are going.”

Swanston and Geis were advised to open shop in the Stamford Innovation Center (SIC) after finding their first angel investors through Douglas Roth, director of investments at the Connecticut Innovations state agency.

Both Stamford, drawing regional talent away from Manhattan with its preferable commutes, and the innovation center (SIC) serving as an incubator of ideas and startup

activity, proved to be a boon for Tru Optik.

“For a town the size of Stamford, there are a lot of venture-backed startups and almost all of them we know were at SIC and raised capital and then moved out,” Swanston said.

“It ended up being a good resource for meeting other entrepreneurs and kind of getting tapped into the ecosystem.”

Swanston singled out he help of Peter Propp, the innovation center’s chief marketing officer.

“Our approach was to get to know the company and then, as requested, provide support around strategy and messaging along with introductions to investors and other key resources who could help them achieve their goals,” said Propp. “We miss having them around but are proud that we were able to provide them with a well-priced office with a short-term lease that they were able to leverage to grow their business.”

In addition to the cultural benefit of having dozens of like-minded entrepreneurs sharing the same space, Swanston said the office leasing options made possible through the SIC were a significant help in the early stages of the business. “To not be tied into a five-year lease in downtown Stamford — having more flexibility — made the task of starting a company less daunting.”

Now at 20 employees and projecting staff to rise to 40 by summer 2017, the company is on a growth trajectory, raising $2.5 million in funding in the last 12 months. Swanston predicted an eightfold increase in revenue for this year and the next.

Being a startup enabled Tru Optik to get the edge on audience measurement giants like Nielsen, Adobe and comScore, Swanston said.

“None of them we’re prepared for it. Maybe it wasn’t being forward-looking enough, maybe it just didn’t just make sense because they were making so much money on the other stuff where we just benefited from being able to focus on the future,” he said. “That’s what’s good about startups.

Most innovation in every industry comes from a startup and I think it is because you are able to have people who aren’t locked in to legacy ways of thinking either strategically or technology and they can focus on innovating. Their only job is to come up with something new.”

MSPs: What’s in them for you?

E

very business, from the small owneroperator to a large corporation, can benefit from a managed services Provider (MSP). MSPs offer experience, depth of expertise and a vantage point about what your competition is up to technologically that you just can’t get by yourself or with an in-house IT staff.

It’s not because you or your team aren’t capable, but focusing on your business is usually all-consuming. A quality MSP can give your business significant competitive advantages with increased system reliability as well as an understanding of what the marketplace is doing.

Consider a small owner-operator business. They’re out there all day working with customers and clients, bringing in new business, dealing with vendors, managing employees. The to-do list is endless. One day they come in and the computer with all the financial data, or customer data, or employee data won’t turn on. They spend the next hour trying to get it to work, calling a “friend who knows computers” who walks them through a series of steps that has “always worked.”

This time, after several hours and a trip

to the nearest Best Buy Geek Squad, the prognosis is the patient has passed away.

That’s when it starts to get dark: no computer, no records, no backup, no luck.

Had an MSP been managing the computers, this scenario would likely have been anticipated. Backups of all data would be in place and all software and licenses would be inventoried. The MSP would have recommended replacing the computer long before it died, but even if it did die it could have the business back up and running fast — often the same day.

Now let’s look at a small business with about 25 or more employees. While the smaller owner-operator may be able to continue in the short term with a pencil and paper while they get their systems up and running, larger businesses literally grind to a halt when the network and systems fail.

They have dozens of employees sitting idle because their jobs demand they use the programs and files on the network and the equipment that’s connected to it – whether it’s email, word, or accounting systems to pay vendors, make payroll, or finish the proposal that must go out by the end of the day. Others working the shop floor where the

CNC machine is driven by the CAD software that is no longer working are also idled.

For organizations like this an MSP is not a nice-to-have; it’s an invaluable member of the team. From asset replacement planning and budgeting, to monitoring the health of all the systems and network, to ensuring your servers, workstations and equipment are up to date and running smoothly, to protecting your valuable data and other private and confidential information from prying eyes, a good MSP will be your partner with a vested interest in the ongoing operations of your business and the systems and network that support it.

Even large corporations with an inhouse IT team are not exempt from the needs of the skills of an MSP. In-house teams are usually built to support the day-to-day operations of the large and often complex organization and while they do that with aplomb, they are sized for that purpose.

That means they’re often so bogged down by routine daily tasks that their talent is wasted, jeopardizing the very core of your business infrastructure. In-house teams become overworked on the minutiae and underutilized given their skill set, making

NANTES Solutions

them more vulnerable to error. They aren’t adding nearly as much value to your business as they should be; it’s not a good place to be, for you or them.

An MSP can free an in-house IT team from the daily burdens that plague businesses and consume their time. Whether it’s through automating the basics like operating system and application patch management, security audits/updates or providing an end-user help desk to deal with end-user frustrations, an MSP can free your staff to work on all the things that help your business grow. They would be solid contributors to your business if they weren’t running around extinguishing tech fires and handling monotonous tasks that are below their skill level.

The long and the short of it is that every business and any business can benefit from using an MSP.
