An Entrepreneur Who Broke All the Rules, Yet Achieved Great Success

Mar 10, 2022

Sid Mookerji built Software Paradigms International Group, LLC, a worldwide information technology company.

He started it in 1994 and sold it in 2018.
He grew it organically through cash flow.
His biggest competitor was IBM Global Services, but they also just happened to be his partner.

And it is this last bit that speaks to why Sid is such a wild success in business and life.

Sid started SPI, having no idea what market it should focus on or what problem he would solve. He started his company because he recognized he was surrounded by knowledgeable, underutilized people here and in India. He broke all the rules of startups and was a great success.

I learned a lot from Sid in this interview. From the beginning of their marriage, he and his wife wanted to impact their fellow man. Their focus is entrepreneurship and disadvantaged women and children. They worked hard and always seemed to have a talent for finding diverse talent worldwide. They are still doing this today, even after the big exit. They see too many opportunities to help others.

Please join Sid and me to discuss his VC firm, family office, and entrepreneurial and angel interests and experiences. Lots to be learned.
