MISSION DRIVEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Mr. Sirucek understands firsthand the difficulty associated with founding a business and transforming one’s vision into reality.
In his view, entrepreneurship is less of a trainable skillset and more of a calling. He and his wife Grace Park, founded DocDoc together because of a uniquely
difficult experience they went through while trying to find a doctor for their daughter who needed a liver transplant when she was only 100 days old. “For
us, DocDoc is not just a business, it is a calling. We will win as an enterprise because we must! Hundreds of millions of patients each year are desperate
for help in trying to find high quality healthcare. When you think about your business this way, it creates a burning desire to win. This is what I look for
in myself when founding a company or when making an investment into another founder. It is not enough to have a good idea. Entrepreneurs need to be firmly on a mission that is larger than themselves.”
SERVANT LEADER
Mr. Sirucek is highly energetic and has the rare kind of tenacity required to make a business flourish and grow. His leadership signature is based on the servant leadership model. “I would not ask anyone on my team to do something I would not do. There are no small tasks just small people who cannot do simple
tasks well. Being a leader is a privilege and not a right. It must be earned every day by example.
