Show Notes
From losing his job in the 2008 financial crash, to a billion dollar idea.
We speak to Mohit Lad, who teamed up with his old college friend Ricardo to trawl through the trash cans of shuttered businesses in Silicon Valley to get the first server for their tech start-up, ThousandEyes.
A combination of grit, determination and a shortage of ready cash saw them think outside the box for solutions to grow the business and get customers.
Twelve years later, the company described as the 'Google Maps' of the internet is now part of Cisco and is still going strong today.
Listen to the full story behind the business and learn about Mohit's vision for a connected world.
Presented and produced by Sam Clack.
