We have about 8500 customers there, but only a small percentage have built great communities that took off, and the rest floundered. That's why we built FanMix, to solve our own problem, and help our SocialEngine customers to promote their own sites. FanMix we're building parallel with a separate team.

We were literally on the cusp of launching our prpoduct, and all of our work and money to date had gone into getting the innovative technology out of Caltech, exploring the marketplace, and making sure the product features matched with the demand of the market, which it clearly did.

To him, there’s a lot of money on the table for things like clean web, but if there aren’t any meat and potatoes projects, the whole system isn’t as effective. Between Caltech, USC, and UCLA, $1 billion has been put into research expenditures.

That's where I learned I enjoyed interacting with customers and working with development teams to build and launch products. Fascinating that you are going against the trend of trying to make everything a web application. I have also attended Thursday Lunch ( thursdaylunch.com ), Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum , and Digital LA.

We have world-class universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and more. If you hit a groove on funding and customer growth it does become a challenge to ramp quickly. That sets us up nicely for the next phase of the web. It is the second largest city in the country with (18 million inhabitants) (vs. million in SF Bay Area ).
