Both Sides of the Table

My first company launched in 1999 and we were offering a SaaS document management in the cloud (we were called ASPs back then). We made lots of assertions about what features we thought people would want, how to price them and how to overcome the objections that people have to managing data in the cloud.

I quit a very well paid job at Accenture with very little time remaining before making partner and took a risk of having no job security at all. Back then there was no “cloud” so we had to plow money into hardware, software licenses and web hosting. And it’s still less than I was paid at Accenture in 1999.

When cloud services company Cornerstone OnDemand got its start in Los Angeles in 1999, the odds were against it. Improbably, founder and CEO Adam Miller and his partners soldiered on to eventually build a $2 billion+ cloud company. Miller had several points of advice for new startups looking to go enterprise in LA.

At the beginning of Coremetrics in 1999, the market risk was whether or not companies would embrace the outsourced model (what we called ASP, or Application Service Providers, back then, and are now called SaaS, or Software as a Service, or “cloud” providers). We started Coremetrics in 1999 selling to dot-coms.

The original company name was Scene on TV (going back to 1999), and I expanded into movies, and the name was also confusing to people (Scene instead of Seen).

On some level we felt we did because being a SaaS company in 1999 was trailblazing. I personally felt that we would have been better served putting more resource into building out cloud services, for example, to make Salesforce more scalable in terms of our user base. We started out with such big dreams about changing the world.

When I first entered the venture capital business 10 years ago after being an entrepereneur, my partners warned me that "my bar" for new investments would get higher over time. In other words, before they had raised a nickel, they had made as much progress as a $10 million funded Series A start-up circa 1999 or even 2004.
