An App'd Business




Brian Forth I saw as another example of a person who can unexpectedly make it as an entrepreneur. Given his sports and theology background, I would have not expected him to create a business that would work with a large amount of technology. The nature of his business Sitecrafting was fascinating to me. Working with mobile apps I saw as an intelligent way to break into the market and solve many problems at the same time. It also allowed for a type of creative process to still take place. Overall, I felt that maintaining the business, while probably more difficult seems like an experience that does not get boring. This applies to his employees as well.

What I also saw as a smart move was to avoid his business from becoming too big to handle. The sense of family that Forth described with and the pictures I saw made his business seem like a very attractive place to work.  From what I can assume, keeping a small, personal business along with his mobile app company seems like a good way to maintain a manageable company that does not get boring with an open exit strategy. From my perspective, Brian Forth seems to have found a good balance between the two.
