In this episode ofย The Foundersโ Journey, we sit down with telecommunications titanย Dan Caruso, founder ofย Zayo Groupย and author of the newly released bookย Bandwidth.
Known as “The Bear” for his intense leadership style, Dan shares how he built Zayo from zero revenue in 2007 to a telecommunications powerhouse with $1 billion in EBITDA, culminating in a $14 billion valuation when he stepped away in 2020 to leadย Caruso Ventures.
Beyond the impressive business metrics, Dan opens up about the personal side of entrepreneurship – his vulnerabilities, struggles, and mistakes. As fierce as he is in the boardroom, Dan reveals his softer side as a devoted father, husband, and champion of Colorado’s entrepreneurial community.
Join us for an intimate conversation with one of our most successful guests as he shares his entrepreneurial wisdom and the personal journey behind building a telecommunications empire.
