Allan Jones, Founder and CEO, Bambee.com.

Allan Jones:

Bambee essentially offers affordable human resources to micro small businesses across the United States that otherwise could not afford it.

Bambee.

Allan Jones:

We grew very fast, multiple 100% growth years year over year in a row.

On screen:

Mr. Jones smiles as he speaks with Bambee employees in an open, spacious office. On the roof of the Bambee building, Mr. Jones leads dozens of Bambee team members in a rousing cheer.

Allan Jones:

Went from serving 10 companies to tens of thousands of companies in a really short period of time. Bambee was Inc. 5000, one of the fastest growing private companies last year.

On screen:

Mr. Jones holds up his "Inc. 5000" award.

Allan Jones:

We've got to take a company like that that was growing extremely fast to one that is profitable in the last 12 months. The DNA of those two types of companies are fundamentally different, and the tactics are fundamentally different, and the discomfort are different. The amount of growth and discomfort that I had to be willing to expand to so that the company could continue to reach its potential, it’s life changing.

Allan Jones:

As soon as you start to think, “Man, I'm the only person like me dealing with this set of problems,” that starts to feel like you're facing something insurmountable. And what you need to realize is every founder has their own unique set of problems. I realize that when I walk into a pitch room that most folks don't expect a face like mine to have been in the C-suite at 26 of what's now a billion-dollar public company, and I get to play on that. There's a moment where in the moment of surprise for you is an opportunity for me to seize your attention.

On screen:

Mr. Jones walks through an office hallway with Bambee team members.

Allan Jones:

So how do you take the things that are unique challenges to you and use them as opportunities to get someone's attention or impress? And we all have them.

Allan Jones:

J.P. Morgan was, I think, the first pillar advisor that felt like when I was thinking through forms of liquidity, duration of time, timelines, now, 10 years from now, 5 years from now, etc., they were one of the first kind of pillar advisors that felt like they were giving us objective thought.

On screen:

Photos show Mr. Jones networking with entrepreneurs at a J. P. Morgan-sponsored business seminar. A photo shows Mr. Jones in the Bambee office building.

Allan Jones:

The bank’s also been awesome at expanding my horizons. There's a bunch of things I'd never done before, like helping me find new board members, helping me think about the M&A markets, or what multiples look like for SaaS companies in this space.

On screen:

At Bambee's headquarters a diverse group of men and women:
 - meet in a conference room;
 - work at their desktop computers:
 - and pose for a company-wide photo.

Allan Jones:

I love to build new things, I love hard problems, I love leading people. And so here's what I'll say: why I do this is less important to me than the fact that I love to do it.

On screen:

A montage shows Mr. Jones:
 - using his mobile phone;
 - at a large conference table;
 - at an outdoor company event;
 - (and) visiting the beach.

Allan Jones:

And at some point I will know why. But in the meantime, I'll just keep doing it as long as I love it.
