Andrea Riposati Offers Advice to Startups
Logan Plaster’s important point is that Andrea Riposati (and his partner) still own 90% of Dante Labs, and still generate revenues in the region of $100M. Andrea Riposati offers advice to new startups about this strategy. We decided to expand Dante Labs and pay more attention to revenue rather than attracting investors. We decided that diluted shares would not be beneficial to the company. Instead, we focused on scaling the business using the resources at our disposal. Riposati also advises startups to keep their eyes on the customer. Riposati advises startups to “focus on building a product people want to buy.” However, it is important to limit investment once revenues rise. He says, “Then you can take on investments without diluting shareholder ownership.”
Riposati gives an example of how they didn’t have a lab at the beginning to run the sequencing. We would have been left with a very small lab and few tests if we had made investments in the lab. Waiting allowed us to grow our business and do A/B testing. Only after they had reached enough sample volume to be able to run a full lab, did they hire an investor to help build the lab. Riposati says, “This is the only way you can run a laboratory in a financially sound way.”
