ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Richard Stroupe sits down with Daniel Summers, CEO and Founding Partner of Electronic Lab Logs — a cloud-based platform helping labs improve compliance, reduce errors, and streamline operations.

Daniel shares how digging footings in Georgia’s red clay led him to a 20+ year career in software. He walks us through the early challenges of building a business from scratch, raising capital in the Southeast, navigating COVID-era uncertainty, and integrating AI to revolutionize lab operations.
