Blue Gecko is an 11 Year Old Remote Database Administration Startup (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the you-no-longer-need-to-be-in-silicon-valley-to-start-a-tech-company dept.

A company that has been going since 2001 is not exactly a startup, but Blue Gecko co-founder Sarah Novotny says that maintaining a startup mindset has helped her company keep going this long, with no end in sight. If you are thinking about starting an IT business (either now or in the future), especially one you hope will have remote clients and possibly a far-flung workforce, you should listen carefully to what Sarah has to say.

    On the other hand, if her company is still stuck in "startup mode" after 11 years, maybe she is not the person to listen to.
