My friends who “grew up” with lifetime careers in General Motors, Exxon Mobil, or even IBM, are now often too embarrassed to even mention it. Customers today demand products and services personalized or tailored to local needs with embedded quality of life services. On the other hand, everyone wants to be an entrepreneur.

With my software background at IBM, I’m well aware that technical early adopters value more and more features, and are able to deal with complexity. You need the funding and support, but venture capitalists can be very demanding, and set high targets. Mergers and acquisitions also require new skills.

One of Southern California's successful, serial entrepreneurs is Winston Damarillo , who founded Gluecode, which he sold to IBM in 2005. Because of the higher demand there, and because there were not a whole lot of providers, plus our good connections in Japan, we started there. There's really big demand.

Most just don’t enjoy all the challenges of communicating to analysts, placating demanding stockholders, and keeping up with legal reporting requirement. In the last few decades, the paternal image of large multi-national company leaders like Thomas Watson at IBM and Henry Ford is gone. Startup founders don’t fit in a public company.

In 1995, I sat on my couch with an IBM Thinkpad 720C, Coreldraw, Microsoft Word and created Make It Work. We started with Citrix again, but this time, it became obvious to us that the demand was coming from the residential sector. I built CRMs out of Microsoft Access and installed networks. They were fresh, hip and fun.

He thinks demand for IPOs (from buyers) remains high while supply is low because Sarbanes Oxley amongst other things has made less CEOs want to go public. Buyers aren’t oblivious to the fact that funds need to sell older portfolio companies and an oversupply relative to demand means that prices should still be challenged going forward.

Adam also had a stint at Mission Ventures, and ran worldwide sales for open source middleware at IBM. They all were very different companies.
