An Interview with Adam Haber, co-founder and CEO of Trellus Networks

As co-founder and CEO of Long Beach-based Trellus Networks, Adam Haber is giving Long Island mom-and-pop retailers a fighting chance against Amazon and other e-commerce giants: a last-mile logistics partner offering home delivery to customers across the Island.It’s the latest endeavor for a master innovator whose long résumé includes stints as a commodities trader, a political candidate, a restaurateur, a government efficiency professional and a seasoned angel investor – and the one that promises the most benefits for other Long Island entrepreneurs, and for the regional innovation economy at large. In today’s episode, Adam joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss his successful career, his essential keys to picking the right investments, his plans to take Trellus national and his ambitious startup’s latest expansion: a new online marketplace allowing visitors to browse thousands of unique, locally made products and order quick delivery across Nassau and Suffolk (and maybe even Westchester).
