The company was founded in 2009 by Kariema Milligan and her husband Joseph Milligan Jr. The election of President Barack Obama was a factor in inspiring the couple to launch their business venture.
“The fact that President Obama was elected was inspiring for me. My husband and I had talked about running our own business for years and once he was elected, a light bulb went off for the both of us simultaneously. We looked at each other and said ‘it’s time’,” she recalled.
In this interview Kariema discusses:
- Tips on how to get government contracts.
- Biggest lessons learned doing business with the government.
- How she and Joseph raised the capital needed to fund their business.
- The strategies implemented that have made the biggest impact on their business.
