Foregoing college to build a multi-million dollar hanger empire? That's precisely what Devon Rifkin, the CEO of Hangers.com did. In this episode of the Atlanta Startup Podcast, hear Devon's story of going from a Wall Street Stock Broker to a bootstrapping entrepreneur and the many lessons learned while building Hangers.com to be a multi-time Inc 5000 fastest-growing startup. Devon does a deep dive into the importance of proximity to customers, hiring talent at the growth stage, insights on achieving global scale early on, and how to think about exiting your startup as a founder.

After a successful exit from Hangers.com, Devon is now consulting today with his firm Humaan Group which is hyperfocused on helping founders think about growth, restructuring, and other critical aspects of company building.
