No. 100: DataSong
John Wallace, CEO
The San Francisco big data apps company grew 59.5 percent from 2011 to 2013.
Decision that most influenced fast growth: Believing in ourselves and investing in our own platform.
Biggest mistake: Not mastering real-time, forward-looking change management soon enough in our company's life to be able to scale internally for that rapid growth and change.
Advice for other entrepreneurs: A business only fails for one reason — it runs out of cash. No matter what risk profile you’re running, never lose sight of that.
