The Story of DataSync
First,
        The Story of DataSync...
Vetter Solutions was
launched as a sole
proprietorship in May 2004

 Offered Home PC
support, business network
support

 Served 100+ residential,
25+ business customers

 Ran out of the Vetters’
basement
Vetter Solutions, Inc.
Vetter Solutions was
Incorporated in July 2005

 Moved into full office
in Madison, SD

 Added network
management, web
development, IT Security
services

 Burned through
substantial cash
learning, growing
The ‘Capital Gap’

Nearly ran out of cash in
late 2006...

 Banks: No, more
revenue needed

 Investors: No way

 Vetter Solutions:
Starving!

  The experience just
  about took me out!            The result...
                            ...my character was
                                   tested!
The new idea: DataSync
Customers needed a backup solution to
protect their data...

 We Believed online services had potential

 Began hosting customer backups,
applications

 Created management team/strategy

 Due to large potential, Board of Advisors
created (Rich/SDTBC put together team)
What did it mean?

Maybe we could host
services/software, pass
the savings on!

 VERY scalable model

 BUT, required
substantial capital

 So, we went on the
investor road show
Capital: Giant Vision

We needed to raise
$500,000 to get the idea
off the ground.

 2006: Rejected

 2007: Semi-finalist

 2008: Semi-finalist

 No capital raised

 Began to fear ‘gapping
out’ again!
Series A Offering
End of year 2008:
DataSync closes Series A
offering

 Used services of SBDC,
Enterprise Institute,
RAIN network, GOED

 Pitched all over the
region

 Funding came in within
15 days of running out of
cash
Rights Offering
October 2009: DataSync closes additional
$1 million in funding

 Follow on RAIN investment

 Individual local ANGEL investors

 Adds integration with Quickbooks,
distribution channels
DataSync Today
Growing software
company with an innovate
product!

 16 employees

 1000’s of users around
the world

 25+ partners

 A chance at an exit!
Lessons Learned

 Strong character is foundational

 Management is a learned skill, with
some intuition required

 Be Strategic

 Never stop learning - find mentors

 A few principles of management
And remember, balance is
      IMPORTANT!
