Aaron Schaap
This week, Bob and Pat talk with Aaron Schaap, founder and CEO of Downstream. We talked with Aaron about his new cloud backup startup focusing on the infrastructure needed to address the unmet needs of this new set of technologies.
Aaron shares some of his strategies for juggling multiple startups, what you really get out of a startup incubator, pricing for the enterprise and more.
Aaron answers the question, “How do you sell to enterprise when you are startup?” – definitely something you should hear if you are in the same position. And what he has to say about being resourceful rather than worrying about resources.
