So, 2006 or 2007. I’ve noticed this about software developers, but I also see it in many IT careers. We are not going to spend the hours patching it or making new features but we could invest in a company/SaaS platform that would make that investment for us. When did that come out again? Yeah, that sounds right.

Jason : You came up with the crazy idea to start Veeva in 2007, just before the worst two years that we’ve experienced in the industry, ’08 and ’09. I had always done general software things, database software, mainframes, PeopleSoft, run that technology groups, Salesforce.com platform for everybody.

You probably already have that data, so not mining it is leaving money on the table. HubSpot built its business and a movement.

That was our first transitionary moment, and from that point forward, we began investing heavily in building a way to teach people technology skills outside of a physical classroom. And from about 2007 till 2010 we bootstrapped and built the first version of the Pluralsight you see today. We were not an enterprise company yet.

In 2007, a software developer named Eric Nakagawa posted a photo of a fat cat he found on the internet to his site. Investors acquired the site for $2 million in 2007. The amateur cat photos, the badly drawn recycled comics, the completely ridiculous videos? He attached a caption: “I can has cheezburger?”
