![]() I was thinking "how can we connect assets off that" like you would rent party equipment. Then they have an abundance of fleet vehicles in the slow time. Many businesses have crazy peak seasons where they never have enough trucks, like the fourth quarter for moving companies. You can hop on an app, book a truck and subsidize a fleet. Now, you no longer have to say I’m going to the dealer to get trucks and financing. Imagine how it was a couple of years ago trying to start a fleet of trucks. Now with things like AWS (Amazon Web Services - cloud based computing services) and Google Cloud do all that. Q: Where did the idea for Fluid Trucks come from?Ī: The closest scenario I can give is this: 20 years ago software companies bought servers to ramp up operations. We’ve automated a lot when it comes to maintenance. We’ve got local companies who do things like maintenance, oil changes, etc. But there’s a pretty minimal team on the ground in those markets. We put a couple of people in market initially. Q: How do you handle that growth? How big is your staff in your locations outside Denver?Ī: We hire from people on the ground there. We love Denver and want to see other tech companies build off us. ![]() (Colorado’s Economic Development Commission approved up to $16,382,827 in performance-based Job Growth Incentive Tax Credits over the next eight years.) It’s so awesome we’re staying here. We wanted to stay here, and it was hard to argue with the capital dollars we can use to grow jobs here. I was pumped, but ideally we’d stay in Colorado. ![]() Some of those incentives were pretty compelling to move our HQ. As we were growing bigger, different cities started to reach out with growth opportunities outside of Colorado. ![]() So we’ve had great success recruiting and getting good talent here. There’s young, smart people migrating here, vacating places like California. I’m originally from Colorado, so I moved back from Washington, D.C., to get a start-up going because of the great talent here. We’re expected to get 375-400 more by year end. In the first quarter, we added 60 people. Q: Why did Fluid Truck decide to stay in Denver?Ī: We’re growing like crazy. ![]()
