#1590 NetGenesis, Yesware, JumpCloud founder on what makes a business worth starting
Summary: When a PR agency contacted me and said, “Hey, Andrew, do you want to interview the author of a new startup book?” I said, “No.” To be honest, I didn’t even look at. And they said, “Wait, this is the startup playbook by two authors. One of them is Rajat Bhargava.” I said, “Wait a minute, that’s the guy behind Yesware. This is not just a guy who has one idea for a business. This is guy who has started multiple businesses.” And even though today’s guest is super successful, when he tried to raise money for his current business, he kept getting turned down for a reason we’ll talk about later. I’m going to find out how he built up this business and so much more. Rajat Bhargava is currently the founder of JumpCloud, which securely connects people to their IT resources. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/jump-cloud-with-rajat-bhargava/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/jump-cloud-with-rajat-bhargava/?get-twitter-card=true&" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Rajat Bhargava is the founder of JumpCloud, which securely connects people to their IT resources.</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.toptal.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Toptal</a> – If you’re having trouble finding developers, Toptal is a network of elite pre-vetted software developers.
