Successful startups are driven by experience, knowledge, and an overall understanding of respective industries. This type of wisdom enables older founders to be well-equipped to envision the ideal workplace, with its unique office perks that are often associated with startup cultures. While most people picture a youthful individual as the stereotypical startup found, this does not pertain to a lot of startup companies. The average age of founders for successful startup companies is around 40 years old. The Chicagoland area is riddled with successful founders over the age of 40, showing that startup success is not tied to youth.
Grid Connect, a manufacturer and distributer of networking products, has been recognized due to the fact that President Mike Justice is one of the seasoned founders mentioned above. He started his successful company in 2003 as purely a networking company, but as it continued to expand, Grid Connect started to manufacture their own wireless sensors and IoT products. The sensors give users complete control over their home as they are designed to notify the homeowner of any environmental changes in their home. They also manufacture the powerful HomeKit-enabled ConnectSense Smart Outlet, which allows users to control any product with Siri voice controls. The company has been able to create quality products like these and thrive under the control and vision of this successful founder!
