Build it and They Will Fund | Dan Reich at Troops

In part one of my conversation with Dan Reich, the founder and CEO of Troops, he discussed his vision to build an AI assistant that bridges information between employees and software with the ease of sending texts to a friend.

In this second part of our conversation, he talks about the importance of building a team and a product to get the funding, and he shares some thoughts on how telecommuting has dramatically increased the importance of a healthy corporate culture.
