YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio \u2013 Justin White was just 24 years old when he decided to take a leap and start his own company.<\/p>\n

The co-owner and CEO of Advanced Technology Partners reflects on how the company launched in October 2018 after spinning off an internal IT department from a group of local manufacturing companies. With only four employees and a single core client, White says the early days were defined by one challenge: credibility. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople would ask, \u2018How do I know you\u2019re going to be here in a year?\u2019\u201d White recalls, describing the difficulty of convincing businesses to trust a young startup with their technology. <\/p>\n

That changed about eight months in, when Advanced Technology Partners acquired Directed Technologies, a company with a long history and established client base in the region. The move helped legitimize the young firm and accelerate its growth. <\/p>\n

Today, Advanced Technology Partners supports about 115 clients on managed service contracts and employs 18 people, providing full-service outsourced IT support, maintenance, security and project work to businesses across the region. <\/p>\n

White also shares how his early interest in technology \u2013 from building his first computer as a teenager to working through multiple IT roles \u2013 shaped both his career and the company\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n
