Show #17 - Sergio Fernandez De Cordova and Seth Lippert, Founders of Fuel Outdoor
Industry: Out-of-Home (Outdoor Advertising) 
Company Size: 12 people
In Business: 3 years
Sergio Fernandez De Cordova and Seth Lippert founded Fuel Outdoor three years ago and began competing in the Out-of-Home outdoor advertising market. This is a true David and Goliath story as they successfully broke into an industry dominated by giants such as Viacom and Clear Channel. In the first, year they raised seven figures and recently just closed a second round of financing to allow them to build permanent structures in Time Square and expand beyond New York. They began with three locations their first year and now have 55 locations and are still growing. They have brilliant advice on how to start and run a business.

Another good show! I spent several years in the 'place-based-media' industry so I must say HATS-OFF to these guys. Congrats and keep up the good work. Hope to see Fuel Outdoor in Atlanta soon. ~ Christian, Founder, Biz4Kids.com

Thanks for making this site possible. You should interview yourself one day, maybe as a finale of season 2, since you yourself are now a succesful entrepreneur too. I look forward to watching more of your shows on TV. And love the behind the scenes footage of you at the studio.
Cudos
