I’m Back!
What does a Cloud CEO do for a summer vacation?
It’s been a while. According to my new editor-in-chief, Leslie, I have not blogged since mid-summer. I do tweet regularly, though, at @lounibos. The fact that she’s not too happy about means it’s time for us to catch up.
What’s been keeping me away from blogging? Was it the lure of the beach? Nope! Was it my love of baseball? Nope! It was what it always seems to be for fast-growing Cloud startups: fund raising! Yep, I spent the summer rummaging around the Venture “Forest” that we call The Silicon Valley.
However, this time was very different as I had not planned to forage for cash until the spring, when fresh capital begins to bloom. This time we got started under the heat of the summer sun because, unexpectedly, a private VC decided to go rogue and preemptively offer us capital in which to grow. That’s how it all began.
I’ll tell you the rest of the story and more about our growth in time. And so here we are, 90 days later, and I’m emerging from the forest realizing that the summer has passed and that it’s time to update my blog.
That’s the short version of how I spent my summer vacation, along with the general business of talking to our customers, prospects and employees about their challenges and how we can solve them.
Leslie has made me promise not to disappear again!
