In the summer of 2011, I co-founded a bike taxi company on Cape Cod with a fellow Tufts student. After a successful first summer, we spent the off-season expanding our operation, which allowed us to increase headcount from three employees to eight in 2012. Upon graduating from college in 2013, I ran the company for one final summer before selling my portion of the business to my co-founder.This experience exposed me to the difficulties of starting, operating, and scaling a service-based business operating in a tourism-dependent economy. With little formal business experience and a very short operating season, my co-founder and I were forced to anticipate challenges, and adapt and improvise when plans changed.Highlights include:• Raised start-up capital, acquired and insured vehicles, obtained necessary permits and licenses, and hired employees• Marketed on-cab advertisements and secured advertising contracts with local businesses• Managed accounting and finances with annual revenue >$30k• Oversaw scheduling and management of a fleet of eight employees
