When it comes to Entrepreneurship, Ralph Turfus does it all. He founded, acted as CEO (for 28 years), and sold Class Software Solutions; launched eight start ups; and is a Special Limited Partner with Yaletown Venture Partners. It’s no wonder he was named the BC Technology Industry Association’s “Person of the Year” in 2006. Using his vast knowledge of the entrepreneurial world, Turfus supports other technology-based ventures as an Angel Funder and Mentor, which as we all know are critical components to venture success. We are very pleased to present this interview where ‘steps to success’ like having a realistic plan and talking market not product were shared by the accomplished, Ralph Turfus.

We highly recommend a few minutes viewing Ralph’s advice. A mentorship snack a few minutes long! The advice on pitching and presenting your market not your product is especially valuable. Enjoy. |
