Better to be too early and have to try again, than be too late and have to catch up.

We didn't really start the company to go build an enterprise software company.

I interned at Miramax and subsequently at Paramount because I was really curious about the future of entertainment - how were we going to get films online? While the inspiration for Box didn't come from that experience directly, it was very obvious that bigger businesses had a lot of slow processes and cumbersome technology.

Look for new enabling technologies that create a wide gap between how things have been done and how they can be done.

Sometimes things are the way they are and can't be changed, other times it's because no one ever tried. Your job is to find the latter.

What happens to the Microsofts, Oracles and IBMs of the world is that when they get big enough, they don't think they need to bring that same level of focus and energy to the end-user experience.

Everything about the enterprise, and then by definition the software the enterprise uses has changed - just in the last 5 years.
