I am really pleased that Chris Gladwin, CEO and founder of Cleversafe, spent some time talking about his experience starting, growing and selling companies.
Chris is the consummate entrepreneur, from Cruise Technologies to MusicNow to Cleversafe – successfully creating, financing and growing technology companies, and not in easy circumstances. Chris tells how the music space became hypercompetitive, with 226 VC-backed companies and only 4 with successful exits (he sold MusicNow to Circuit City and then to AOL).
Cleversafe is now redefining the whole notion of how data storage occurs, and it’s taken six years to both engineer the team’s vision and to see the world come around to cloud computing.
And it turns out Cleversafe is taking in additional capital. Listen in to hear some straight talk from a champion company founder.
