Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Andrew J. Cary, Co-Founder and CEO of The PT Solution's SNAAP Transportation, located in Chattanooga, TN, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Our business, SNAAP Transportation, is fundamentally changing the way people move around their communities.  Our mission is to provide a sustainable alternative to personal transportation that helps to alleviate the problems caused by the 80% of single-occupant vehicles on the roadways: pollution, environmental degradation, congestion, and lack of sustainable infrastructure.  We help connect people, places, and things.

Tell us about yourself

I was a public educator, administrator, non-profit executive, and board member and got the sales, startup, and entrepreneurial bug more than 25 years ago.  With a desire to solve problems, educate people, and improve their lives, starting businesses is a natural fit.

What motivates me daily is the excitement that comes from bringing to life new programs, services, and products that genuinely make a difference in people's lives, daily.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Funding SNAAP Transportation and bringing it to the market.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Fundraising, focus, building a team, executing the plan.  My mantra is #Rise&Execute.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Don't go at it alone; find a co-founder that loves the idea and has a different, complementary skill set.
  2. Research the market, study your industry, and differentiate your offerings.
  3. Do not grow weary in doing good.
