How we helped PDQ.com achieve from bootstrapped to a billion
Shawn, with his twin brother Shane Corellian, founded PDQ in 2001. He shares the 2 decade evolution of PDQ from unfundable startup to small giant. He highlights five BoS talks he heard as they struggled to reach milestone after milestone that led to transformational changes for the company. Today, PDQ has: over 45,000 customers; PE funding; a valuation over $1billion.
From understanding how customers really want to be treated, through rethinking how PDQ builds software, and more, you’ll learn how you can put new ideas to work in your company and build towards long term and sustainable success.

Is BoS Conference the One for You?
Connections
BoS is about meaningful connections, not crowds.
People come on listen not broadcast mode. We deliver a high-value event for high-value people, not filling a room to appease sponsors.
No Fluff
BoS is about the reality of entrepreneurship, not the cartoon version.
Talks are curated to maximise value attendees take away and uniquely, offers attendees a no quibble money-back guarantee if you attend and don’t feel you get value.
Who is it for?
If you want to learn from other smart people, take control of your company, and make better informed decisions, you will fit right in.
No matter where you are in your journey, from starting out to IPO and beyond, you will be treated as a peer by other attendees.
Vibe
From start to finish, BoS is about bringing folk together in a relaxed, fun, honest, open environment to learn the craft of building great companies in a space designed for thinking and conversation. (No DJs at networking!)

The Competition: Close, But No BoS
| Your Options | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Tech Industry conferences | Focused on specific topics like growth, tech trends. Opportunities to meet investors, partners, and clients. Lots of people. Potential sales. | Overcrowded with little opportunity for deep connections. Impersonal. Often limited to a single topic or aspect of business. Too big, making it harder to form meaningful connections. More general content, less tailored to CEOs. Feeling like you have paid to listen to a series of poor sales pitches. Too many low level people. Poor content. Often tradeshows disguised as conferences. |
| Peer Groups | Intimate, peer-driven conversations. Tailored advice from fellow CEOs. | Limited access to expert-led content. Focused only on peer interaction, not expert insights. Finding relevant and trusted ones is hard. |
| Books | Learn from top authors and thought leaders. Flexible learning at your own pace. | No real-time feedback or personalized advice. Limited application of concepts to your unique challenges. What books to choose and how do you get up to date information. |
| YouTube and Instructional videos | Very good for specific technical challenges. | Identifying the best content is hard. Much of the value of instruction comes from discussion. |
