I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.

Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology oriented disruption.

Too little process and you can't get good work done. Too much process and you can't get any work done. Most companies never find the middle.

In the enterprise you want to start intentionally small.

Always look for these changing technology factors- any market that has a significant change in the underlying raw materials ...or enabling factors, is an environment that is about to change in a very significant way.

The business models in enterprise have changed pretty dramatically. A huge problem with enterprise software traditionally has been usually you sell to the customer and then they adopt the technology. The great thing about 'freemium' and the new way enterprise software is being sold is you get to try it first and then buy it.

The best technology is aimed far enough in the future that it stands out, but close enough to the present that it blends in.
