Founding Elance, then Webaroo: Beerud Sheth’s Entrepreneurial Journey (Part 4)
Sramana Mitra: Up till what point were you operationally involved? Beerud Sheth: I was there until 2005, or about seven years in the company.

Sramana Mitra: The movement right now is very much in favor of Elance. oDesk is more our platform but it’s the same concept. The only way I can run the company is because of what you’ve invented. However, I have always been a bit early in things. I did a fashion company in 1999. That
Making Mass Customization Work: Jodie Fox, CEO of Shoes of Prey (Part 2)
Sramana Mitra: What year are we talking? Jodie Fox: We went live in October 2009. The idea started to come together at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. Sramana Mitra: How did you get it off the ground? Did you self-finance it? How did it all come together? Jodie Fox: We bootstrapped
