2017
CloudNY was started with our friends from FirstMark Capital. Our goal from the start was to provide a forum for CEOs of leading
cloud software companies to collaborate and learn from one another in a private setting. We hope to foster a sense of giving back by
those that have successfully navigated the journey before and an environment of shared learning by those that are on the journey
currently.
New York was an obvious destination as it has personal affinity to both the teams from Battery and FirstMark and it allows us to
highlight the burgeoning ecosystem of software companies in the area – plus New York in May is tough to beat.
We are already in the preliminary stages of planning next year’s event, so if you would like to get your name on the list for potential
attendance, please visit www.cloudny.com and request and invitation. We would love to see you there!
Best,
Neeraj and Logan

Top 5 execution missteps and tactical advice
Equating early product-market fit with long-term company success
Look for the operational issues when things are going well
1
Being reluctant to let your team drive key deals
The sooner the sales team does the selling the better you are
2
Waiting too long to embrace team-building as a key priority
Executive recruiting should consume 50% of your time3
Focusing only on 1st level management vs. 2nd level management
2nd level management is the true leverage point in scaling
4
Viewing the board in isolation
Hire and recruit board members just like your executive team
