Nuwere's company provides security for the growing voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phone business. He raised the startup capital by consulting, but now he focuses on developing security products for large companies looking to deploy VoIP calling to save money on telephone service.
SecurityLab's first product will be a box that a company can install on its internal network. Over time, Nuwere hopes to evolve his business into a hosted Web service. The first trial is already underway with a financial services company in New York City.
Lesson learned:
"Opportunity is everywhere, if you're only willing to see it."
