Thanks for working on something simple and to the point.

Cheers,

For all of the naysayers and pessimists out there - my only response is that this isn’t a zero-sum game. Our industry, including many VCs and bloggers, tend to look at business and success only in binary terms.

As @JamesC and @SeanMurphy have already stated, the collaboration industry (particularly in the SMB market) is large, wide, green and still growing. If you don’t see it, nor believe it (and if you listen to what everyone else is saying and writing) then you probably aren’t an entrepreneur (nor a hacker).

Entrepreneurship and business is about odds. Its about overcoming them, in spite of everyone believing that markets are a winner takes all scenario.

My advice when dealing odds and numbers is to make sure that the deck you are working with is stacked in your favor.

Central Desktop

We too have been very happy users of Central Desktop. And, with the new Security Package (with Single Sign-on for access to other applications) Central Desktop will become a central component of our technology stack. Thanks guys!

@anonyjoe I think we are still close to the 1% point on what small team collaboration environments look like. The “small team moving fast” looks very different outside the enterprise rather than inside the enterprise and is much more empowered by a cloud computing model that allows for easy inclusion of suppliers, customers, and partners. In particular CentralDesktop’s pricing model (based on workspace count not user count) allows us to run more than 100 workspaces at a very effective price point. As a happy side effect from their perspective, it makes it viral because we are then willing to use them with everyone we collaborate with, some of whom decide to get their own (or transfer ownership at the end of a project).
