Three friends combine skills to start successful quilt software company
Summary
Roylance, along with friends Brian King and Lehi resident Milo LeBaron, combined their skills to sell the software he had built. “There was a moment sitting in front of Workforce Services, where I wondered why I was having to rely on the government for assistance with feeding my wife and newborn child.” LeBaron called his dad, who encouraged him to stick with it, reassuring him that starting any business is going to be extremely difficult, but it would be worth it. “We began to hone our business culture by introducing the five Hs as our core values—Honest, Hungry, Happy, Humble, Heartfelt,” said LeBaron. “We often wondered if we had bitten off more than we could chew.” During the pandemic, Rain had to scale back, resulting in heartbreaking layoffs of employees that were like family. Halfway into the year, Rain was approached by two men who were starting a company that was backed by private equity (PSG).
