From Helping a Local BBS to Governing Internet as an ICANN Board Member With Danko Jevtović
Description
In this episode, we sit down with Danko Jevtović, an entrepreneur turned manager. He co-founded several companies, most notably Jugodata, one of the first companies to sell computers in Serbia, and SezamPro, an ISP founded at a time when BBSes were all the rage.
During the conversation we talk about:
* getting started by serving the community that had gathered around Sezam BBS,
* growth through educating the market,
* the importance of helping to build middle management,
* how to recognize the change in the market as the right time to exit the business,
* how Danko's life has changed since leaving the business...
* how he began to think differently about himself...
We end our conversation with Danko's opinion on the pitfalls of startup culture and why Danko would never advise starting a company with the intention of selling it.
