Flyweight Database

Guys, I just had a fun conversation with Lew.  He and I discussed an article in the September issue of Business 2.0, the 20 Smartest Companies To Start Now.  Number 2 in the article is a VC looking for a flyweight database.  The article isn’t posted online yet as I write this, but could be shortly.  Lew and I would like any and all comments back regarding DataPerfect’s fit in addressing the need stated here.  Bruce & Thom, would you two comment and engage on this discussion in particular?  Thanks,

 

In a nutshell, the article states: Draper (the VC) loves startups that can upend corporate giants with simple products and cheap technology.  Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft have had a stranglehold on the $13.8 billion database business for more than a decade, and while newer players like MySQL are making a dent, Draper thinks there’s an opening for a startup that can deliver most of the benefits of standard Big Blue products without millions of lines of code or an army of consultants and IT managers.

 

This little article blurb lends me to think (and Lew as well) that DP would play well here.  We intend to discover the reality of that. So please chime in and give some input and feedback.  I’ve started my investigation to discover more specifically what this guy is looking for, and preparing for a presentation to them. 

 

Thanks,

 

Heman
