Founder's Insights: Building a 7-Figure Tech Startup - Jorge Rodriguez

Born in Lima, Peru, and moved to Miami, FL at the age of 13, where I spent a fulfilling two decades before settling in Dallas, my current home base. While I call Dallas home now, I still dedicate 30% of my time to exploring new destinations. My passion for the technology sector is matched only by my love for cultivating enduring relationships. When I'm not immersed in tech, you'll find me indulging in culinary adventures, making music, and voraciously seeking knowledge.

As the Co-Founder and CEO of Hamperapp, a pioneering platform transforming the laundry and dry cleaning industry, I am dedicated to crafting innovative solutions that simplify daily tasks and enhance lives. Under my leadership, Hamperapp has blossomed into a profitable venture, boasting a yearly revenue of $6 million and experiencing continuous growth. With a presence in over 40 cities and a user base of 65,000 registered users in the USA alone, Hamperapp has processed more than 85,000 successful orders. Notably, we have achieved this without external funding, relying on our own resources and innovation. Supported by a dedicated team of 20 professionals, we've also secured 200 commercial accounts and government contracts, further solidifying our position in the market.

With over 11 years of experience in the LED display industry, I bring a proven track record of driving revenue, expanding markets, and nurturing lasting client relationships across the banking and financial services sectors in the Americas.

Leveraging my MBA in Entrepreneurship and multilingual skills, I employ a consultative sales approach to identify opportunities, devise strategies, and deliver value-added solutions that surpass customer expectations. Year after year, I've exceeded sales quotas, securing contracts worth up to $5 million annually and expanding the market share of Huahai LED Display, where I serve as Sales Director. I take pride in leading and empowering a dynamic team of sales and marketing professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
