After working in law, then restaurant management, Gabriel Halimi took an idea for a water leak detection system that his father (an engineer) came up with in his garage and built a successful start-up company (which he then sold for a substantial, but undisclosed, sum to a publicly-traded company). This episode follows Gabriel's entrepreneurial journey from startup to acquisition. Benjy and Gabriel discuss an array of topics including the role of a startup company's CEO as a storyteller for potential investors, time management and optimizing productivity for entrepreneurs and startups, the challenges of fundraising (including some fundraising strategies that actually worked), and finding mutually beneficial working relationships with employees while recognizing that people change companies at various points during their careers. The episode closes with the Legal Tip of the Month sponsored by Smith & Benowitz!Support the show (http://lawflip.com)
