Alyssa NoonMore than thirty years ago, growing up in Wilmington, NC, David Long was taught a trade in high school. Little did he know that this trade would lead him to grow an industry-changing firm with a business model that even high-tech entrepreneurs would envy. In 1989, David started MyEmployees out of his parents garage, leveraging the mechanical engraving skills he learned in shop class. But recently, the company began exploring an entirely different way to support their customers employees through an innovative engagement survey software called Star Culture. It’s sold based on the number of employees being recognized and the number of managers using the system.
