It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet a lucky star. In tech, this can be an employee, a boss, an investor, a legal counsel, or just a friend. This lucky star changes the course of your career, pushes you to the limit or just give you a hand when it is needed. I met mine 30 years to this date at the Saratoga Inn. My 2 co-founders and I (Bill Coleman and Ed Scott) met Bill Janeway for the very first time and we pitched the concept of BEA Systems to him. My co-founders thought (since Bill Janeway lives in New York) all he wanted to see was the financial projections and how we were going to run the business, but it turned that Bill was only interested in our technical architecture and how we were going to build out our middleware stack to displace IBM - which could not be a crazier idea at the time. Long story short, Bill commissioned us to write a full business plan and proceeded to commit USD$50M of funding to this crazy idea (thank god, this $50M, generated $6.8B in return to the Warburg Pincus LLC's Limited Partners) and the rest was history. I normally introduce Bill Janeway as my boss but he is so much more than that. Bill is my mentor, my guiding light, my moral compass, and most importantly, my friend. When people ask me, what is the one most critical thing to succeed in tech, I will always say, go find your Bill Janeway ASAP! #mentor #AI #Venture #boss #data #privateequity
