Ever wondered how a small-town upbringing can shape a big-time career in tech? In this episode of Small Business Pivots, we sit down with Kyle York, co-founder & CEO of York IE, to uncover his journey from growing up in a family-run athletic footwear business in New Hampshire to leading a strategic growth and investment firm for tech startups.

Kyle shares invaluable insights on entrepreneurship, scaling businesses, and the balance between stability and growth. Drawing from his deep-rooted experience in retail, investment, and tech advisory, he reveals how vertically integrated operations can create long-term success.
