If there could've ever been a magical time to build an enterprise software company, now is absolutely that time.

My co-founder Dylan Smith and I left our junior year of college to move to the Bay Area. To the horror of our friends' parents, we actually had two other friends drop out of college to work on the product. The four of us were just working non-stop growing Box.

In the enterprise you want to start intentionally small.

Why we do what we do: that moment when you get to see the future on your computer screen before the rest of the world.

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.

You can look at the cost structure of an incumbent company and discover: where are they not going to be able to drop their prices... because that business model is fundamental to the existence of the company.

The IT model of the enterprise has become a lot more user lead.
