THE BEGINNING
Abid Abedi launches Adea, Inc. Adea was initially launched as a Software Development company focusing on disrupting the Tax Software industry by writing next generation Tax software logic that was ahead of its time.
In mid-1996 Abid did what is commonly known today as “pivot” where a startup shifts its original business strategy or plan and quickly moves to more of revenue generating model and flourishes. This shift came about during Y2K and the dotcom frenzy era, which elicited a demand for talent acquisition from all over the US. Thus Adea’s successful consulting business was born.
