CREATING A $40 MILLION COMPANY BASED ON DISPERSION MODELLING
Richard H. Shulze
; Founder, Trinity Consultants, Inc., Dallas, Texas, USA
Sažetak
Starting in 1974, the author grew Trinity Consultants, Inc. from a one-person firm to one employing over 270 staff in 22
offices scattered across the United States and an added office in the People’s Republic of China. Trinity became the leading US firm
in the field of air quality consulting and compliance. The foundation of the firm was in the field of dispersion modelling and the
author taught a course, which he continually revised, entitled “Fundamentals of Dispersion Modeling” more than 200 times in the United States and in more than a dozen countries on five continents. He also authored a 400-page textbook with D. Bruce Turner on this subject in 2007. This paper describes three selected aspects of this experience that spanned a third of a century until controlling interest of Trinity Consultants was sold to a private equity firm in November 2007. The three areas to be described are: a) an
assessment by the author of the human qualities that foster success as an entrepreneur, b) the stages of growth of a professional
services firm, and c) the process of ownership transfer and the financial engineering that was involved.
