The Atlas Story

I'm Ryan, the founder and CEO of Atlas, and a serial entrepreneur.

I have been working in the computer, data center and telecom industry pretty much my entire life. I am just old enough to remember the bulletin board days of Prodigy Internet Service, and I will even begrudgingly admit to having been an AOL dial-up customer. In the 90s, I installed a 128 kbps ISDN circuit (or, in English, a once-fast pre-DSL Internet connection) in my house and started re-selling it to neighbors. That was my humble beginning in the Internet business.

The big telecom and cable companies are inefficient, and in my opinion, do not really care about the customer experience. To me, the customer experience is not just the initial phone call to set up service, or how easy it is to log in and pay your bill every month . . .
