From Startup to Sustainable Company
Success is going to take a lot more than beanbag chairs and free food, warns startup veteran and Oracle executive Reggie Bradford. Drawing on a recent webinar he hosted with Jason M. Lemkin, founder of the SaaStr community, Bradford presents the harsh reality. For example, founders had better plan on two years of nothing—no salary, no funding, no glory—not the six months many expect when heading into a new tech startup. Bradford works with startups in the Oracle Cloud Startup Accelerator program, so he sees up-close how startups cope with these challenges and how the cloud changes the startup journey. Gather more startup insight from Bradford and Lemkin.
