"Select+CT" is a Digital Media Connecticut (DMCT) podcast series dedicated to Connecticut's Digital Media industry!

Though this is a Connecticut inclined podcast, I found that the contents of this episode (episode 12, season 1), can apply to anyone in any state. David Salinas, Co-Founder of Digital Surgeons and Innovation District in New Haven / Pete Sena, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Surgeons, spoke with host David DesRoches, Quinnipiac University about the importance of a business partnership. 

“I think it really just comes down to starting a vision in your dorm room and being able to get great people around you.” - Pete Sena, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Surgeons

Takeaways from David and Pete: 

• Your network can sometimes equate to your networth. You need to make connections with people, even if you don’t like them!
• Partnership between two individuals who want to move an arrow in the same direction is what can make or break a business venture. Sometimes it only takes two people, but other times it can take many
• There is a need for how design and tech come together now more than ever. Everything is digital.
