Adam also had a stint at Mission Ventures, and ran worldwide sales for open source middleware at IBM. I don't have a long sales cycle, because I'm talking to people who have already chosen Jetty. I also worked in sales groups for Websphere, and bootstrapped Webtide--all right in a row. So far so good.
