How did the founder's background in ministry and non-profit work prepare him for leading a technology company and the Convene for the Cities movement?
Years spent in pastoral ministry, church planting, global missions advocacy, and disaster relief provided invaluable experience in leadership, equipping others ("equipping the saints for works of service," Ephesians 4:12), and understanding diverse needs.
What was the catalyst for the founder's unexpected shift from pastoral ministry to the technology industry?
The transition to technology in the mid-1990s was an unforeseen path taken by trusting in God's leading during a challenging season, which included a period of homelessness. A significant opportunity arose with a major jet engine manufacturer seeking someone familiar with the internet.
