Justin Couto
CEO, Couto Solutions
I built my business in San Luis Obispo after attending school here and getting to know and appreciate the area. Once my company started growing, I benefited greatly from the pool of talented, creative students graduating from Cal Poly, many of whom also fell in love with SLO and were also determined to build a life here. These days it doesn’t really matter if you’re located in a large metropolitan area. Via the internet, we are able to expand our clientele worldwide and still be located in a place we enjoy living in.
