In a startup, your ideas turn into reality really, really fast. A startup founder needs to never lose sight of the vision, but be extremely adaptable to pretty much everything else. In a startup, you don’t fight the system; you are the system. Lots of people have visions. Most are hallucinations.

That’s awesome for users of Salesforce.com or companies that want to cater to them but less awesome for pure startups that want independence and are really just looking for cloud infrastructure. That makes both of these amazing companies great channels for startups. Facebook is a “platform cloud&# provider, too.

When I asked him how he would do it, he quite simply said Amazon – Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and Amazon S3 for storage. It will be interesting to see how many startups look to use the Amazon infrastructure after it gets more publicized at the Web 2.0 conference.

It has never been so easy to get a startup up and off the ground these days. From a technology perspective, so many parts of the stack have been made easier--from spinning up servers on EC2 and S3, to getting hosted Rails infrastructure on Heroku. Why isn't it growing its own yet?

I chose Amazon Web Services to be our marquee reward, and not just for the obvious reason that so many of you are - right this very moment – already hosting on AWS EC2.

After Goldman, ran startup Gadgetoff, which brought together inventors and entrepreneurs. Packaged platforms (Force.com/EC2/Azure) are much more likely to succeed than a pure infrastructure play. This is definitely not the norm in accelerator programs; I’d be curious to know the logic. Previously CTO, Goldman Sachs.

At the time we viewed Amazon’s offering, EC2 as too nascent. From a reliability & performance perspective for most applications it will perform beautifully. Processing.
