As we touched on in the last episode, it may be a higher value to build your analytic software solution than it is to buy from an enterprise software vendor. Dhruv has been designing and building software for over fifteen years, and has worked with a variety of organizations across the public and private sectors (B.C. Government, Yukon Government, Change.org, Apple). In 2016, he founded Real Folk to help build the next generation of digital services across government and industry in North America.

Let’s continue on to part 2 of our conversation with Dhruv, where we’ll look at possible pitfalls, challenges, and best practices to pull value from the building process.
