Roundtable Recap: April 30 – Billion Dollar Unicorns with Therese Tucker, CEO of BlackLine

During today’s roundtable, we celebrated the launch of my book, Billion Dollar Unicorns, with Therese Tucker, Founder and CEO of BlackLine. Therese is a very successful female entrepreneur who followed our core philosophy of bootstrap first, raise money later. When I first met her in 2009, her company was in the $10 million revenue range. Subsequently, it has continued to grow at 50% CAGR year over year, and Therese raised private equity funding in 2013 to take liquidity for herself and her team. Today, with annual recurring revenue in the $65 million range, and continued growth at 50%, $100 million revenue is not far in the horizon. And with that, the company’s valuation will easily touch unicorn levels.

Roundtable Recap: April 23 – Billion Dollar Unicorns with Roman Stanek, Founder of GoodData

During today’s roundtable, we celebrated the launch of my book, Billion Dollar Unicorns, with Roman Stanek, CEO and Founder of GoodData. Roman is a serial entrepreneur, and discussed his thoughts about customer validation, go-to-market strategies, and the future of big data / business intelligence technologies in great depth.

Envelop
As for the pitches, first up, Srikanth Jallapuram from Cupertino, California, pitched Envelop, a retailing marketing app that still needs significant customer input. My hunch: there are flaws in Srikanth’s assumptions, but as always, I encouraged him not to take my input, but validate the assumptions with customers.
