What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?
Unable to define or build a powerful product in a large, healthy market.
What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?
1. Location matters: if you're going to build a complex enterprise software company, build it in Silicon Valley (not Orange County).
2. Less is more: minimize the risks and complexity in product development and engineering but make sure you meet minimum requirements to enable sales.
3. Manage yourself: managing other people well begins with being able to manage yourself.

Delphix transforms the economics of application and database management by virtualizing the data in databases, enabling faster time to market for application projects while eliminating inefficient operations and redundant storage hardware.
Most enterprises manage multiple development, testing, QA, staging, integration, and pilot environments to maintain applications, each with a physical copy of a database. They also manage ongoing data refreshes to ensure relevant, appropriate data for each environment, which can take days to months per effort and requires the combined efforts of multiple teams: DBAs, storage administrators, backup administrators, and server administrators.
With our agile data platform, Delphix can sync with multiple source databases and instantly deliver virtual databases at the right time to the right team in a self-service model—at a fraction of the cost and complexity of physical databases. Delphix software can shrink database copies from 10 TB to 1 TB and reduce data refresh times from 10 weeks to 10 minutes.
