VentureBeat: How would you respond to the contention that the enterprise is less “sexy” than the consumer space?
Russell Glass: Unsexy is sexy! Most kids coming out of college aren’t thinking “I’d like to start a B2B marketing technology company,” which works to our advantage!
VentureBeat: Why did you decide to become an entrepreneur?
Glass: My dad was an entrepreneur, and I have been running companies since starting a tennis racquet stringing business in high school. I think that I have always enjoyed the constant challenge and need to be creative that is inherent with a startup.
