JetStor Founder on Innovation, Grit, and Investing with Driven: Unscripted Success
How Gene Leyzarovich built a 30+ year, debt-free data storage business and a diversified investment portfolio
JetStor founder Gene Leyzarovich recently joined the Driven: Unscripted Success podcast with hosts Mike Manino and Neriman Hamden to talk about building a 31 year data storage business from scratch, surviving a brutally competitive market, and creating passive income through real estate and other diversified investments.
In the episode, Leyzarovich shares how he came to the U.S. from Moscow, bootstrapped Advanced Computer & Network Corporation (now JetStor) out of an apartment, and grew it into a global storage provider serving thousands of organizations in education, government, media, surveillance, and high performance computing. He also explains why JetStor chose to stay debt free and avoid venture capital, and how disciplined cash flow management shaped every decision.
