Four years ago, I was bored and talking to a friend of mine, joking about starting a scientific equipment business in a small niche (geophysics) where there was effectively only one competitor in our national market. Easy to disrupt. To my surprise, he said yes and we went all in. Still just the two of us, but I guess I didn’t have to apply for that job, just have a fortuitous connection. Now I do the science parts and he does the business parts and it works great! Probably we will hire this year though, and it’s very likely that LinkedIn will be the place we advertise.
The last tool I used? Does email count? ;) Ground Penetrating Radar.
My old job was servicing niche scientific equipment. Glad to see you saw that opportunity - there are a lot of shitty products out there selling for five or six figures, and often running technology multiple decades out of date.
I need to hire a service technician this year. Someone with soldering skills, most likely. What skills did you use to get your prior job? What were you taught on the job? Pure curiosity.
