“After working with Matt Wezner and the Bootstrap team, I am excited about the new business opportunities and growth potential we have,” said Tim Mathieu, VeriLogic Solution’s senior engineer.  “It’s great to know that the company’s values, especially its dedication to the success of customers and employees alike, will continue in the tradition that Bob created.”

“I’m excited to be working with Matt to build VeriLogic into an even greater company.  Matt and I have worked together in other business ventures and I have a lot of confidence in him as an entrepreneur and business leader,” said John DeBlasio, Managing Director of Bootstrap Capital.  “The team at VeriLogic does great work for its customers and we want to make sure they have everything they need to keep doing just that.”
