I never imagined that losing my job would lead to the greatest adventure of my life. But that's exactly what happened. When I found myself suddenly unemployed, I made a vow: I would never again put my fate in someone else's hands. This moment of crisis became the catalyst for a vision - to build a company where every employee could share in the success and security of ownership. With a team of talented, entrepreneurial engineers by my side, we set out to challenge the status quo. Our goal wasn't just to create another business, but to reimagine what a company could be. We wanted to build an organization where success benefited everyone, not just a select few at the top. This was the birth of Torch Technologies. From the very beginning, we made a radical decision: every single employee would have the opportunity to become an owner on their first day. This wasn't just about sharing profits; it was about creating a culture of true engagement and investment in the company's long-term success. The early days were far from easy. We faced skepticism from traditional business minds who couldn't understand why we'd "give away" ownership. There were times when meeting payroll seemed like an insurmountable challenge. But we persevered, driven by the belief that we were building something truly special.
