One of our favorite stories Dax shares about his startup experience is that his company today is doing — almost verbatim — what he envisioned when he created his very first business plan. Eons ago, as a young programmer, with a vision for a powerful and beautiful POS system, Dax’s aims were simple. He wanted to help ignite small businesses globally. Today, despite the challenge of operating in many complex regulatory and cultural environments across the world, each boasting a strong competitive landscape — Dax’s original vision has never been stronger or more on point.
