Patrick attributes much of his success to his practice of setting daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals, and his belief in the power of hard work and a positive attitude. By continuously feeding his mind with motivational content and surrounding himself with supportive people, he has been able to overcome obstacles and stay focused on his vision.

When faced with the "chicken and egg" problem of needing both supply and demand to launch a marketplace, REPOWR focused first on generating demand from customers who needed trailers, and then used that demand to convince large enterprise fleets to provide supply. By demonstrating the revenue potential and operational benefits of participating in the marketplace, they were able to quickly build a critical mass of both buyers and sellers.

REPOWR benefited from the post-COVID economic boom in 2021, which drove high demand for trailers and allowed the company to generate significant revenue in its first six months. However, as market conditions have become more challenging, the company has adapted by listening closely to customers and building new products and features that help them optimize their operations and generate revenue in a down market.

Rather than simply seeking to maximize the amount of capital raised, Patrick and his team have focused on bringing on strategic investors who can provide introductions, industry expertise, and long-term support. By building strong relationships with investors even when not actively fundraising, they have been able to tap into valuable networks and resources that have accelerated their growth.

From the early days of the company, REPOWR has prioritized spending time with customers and seeking their feedback on how to improve the platform. By involving customers in the product development process and building features that directly address their pain points and opportunities, the company has been able to create a sticky, valuable solution that evolves alongside the needs of the market.
