Here I have included an interview with Larry Gadea, founder of Envoy during the Web Summit tech conference, dubbed as one of the biggest tech conferences in the world. This conference, which Guardian called “Glastonbury for geeks” and The Financial Times “the world’s largest tech conference” is something that I could not miss for the world. This interview will give a perspective on how entrepreneurship and innovative technology are helping to change the world.

What is Envoy? Well, it is a company offering an enterprise workplace visitor management software platform that is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and was founded in 2013 by Larry Gadea. The Envoy platform allows enterprises to securely sign-in guests, manage deliveries, and organize meeting room bookings.
Here’s a little bit about Larry Gadea and why I am glad Larry accepted my invitation to have a short conversation on Web Summit. For the audience to know about Larry’s background, he was a Twitter infrastructure engineer. At Envoy, he and his company raised Series C to more than 100 million USD.
Some of the discussions during the interview touched on the context of 12 minutes Youtube interview around what is the value of Envoy to the users, the differentiation between Envoy and tools such as Zoom, and the leadership principle that helps Envoy to become what it is today. Let’s hope everyone learns and grow together.
