No. 52: Adam Haber – Angel On Their Shoulder

Go team: By partnering with organizations like the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, co-founder Adam Haber has already built Trellus Networks into something special -- and the last-mile logistics provider is just getting started.

 

Adam Haber is giving Long Island mom-and-pop retailers a fighting chance.

As co-founder and CEO of Long Beach-based Trellus Networks – a last-mile logistics service that provides home delivery of unique Long Island products to customers across the Island (and, in some cases, beyond) – he’s helping the little guys compete with Amazon and other e-commerce giants.

It’s the latest endeavor for a master innovator whose impressive résumé includes stints as a commodities trader, a political candidate, a restaurateur, a government efficiency professional and a seasoned angel investor – a long, winding and ultimately successful road that’s made Trellus possible.

In today’s episode, Adam joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss his essential keys to picking the right investments, his startup’s latest expansion (adding an online marketplace catering exclusively to regional retailers) and his ambitious plans to take Trellus national.
