Did you know that since the last Dreamforce, salesforce.com customer Trunk Club sold their startup to Nordstrom for $350 million dollars? Not bad for a company less than five years old. Brian Spaly, Trunk Club’s CEO, initially decided to use Salesforce so he could innovate quickly without wasting time managing servers or being distracted from his business idea.
Brian spoke last year in our retail panel, but this year we have even more of the most innovative entrepreneurs. Reid Hoffman, Jeremy Stoppelman, and Max Levchin of the “Paypal Mafia” will be sharing their insights. And we have many other great activities for startups including:
