1. Tsahy Shapsa - 15 minutes- a case study of an early stage start-up and talk about what it's like to build a new business now days, with all this cloud stuff going around. covering where we're using cloud/SaaS to run our business,operations,IT etc, where we're not and why, challenges that we faced / are facing etc. We can have an open discussions on the good,bad & ugly and I wouldn't mind taking a few tips from the audience...

  “ This was a great meetup, very informative with three presentations and plenty of pizza! I'm close to launching and find this to be the best meetup in the area that covers this issue. Thanks! ”
- Jim Salem
  
  “ Tsahy's and John's presentations were a good intro to cloud services. Very interesting hearing about the wide range of services that Aprigo is using and how hard it is to manage. John Bennett's focus on the needs of small business and the impact of cloud services on them was excellent. Interesting presentation on data center finances from Mark Hodapp. ”
- Jeff Schriesheim
  
  “ Good presentations and thoughtful discussion. I ”
- Andrew DePristo
  
  “ Each of the 3 talks was quite good and provoked much interesting discussion. That is the goal of such meetups and this one achieved it very well for all 3 talks. The meeting would have been good if 1 talk had been worthwhile but to have all 3 be good makes the meeting great. ”
- Shlomi Dinoor
  
  “ It was a great meeting - the place, presentations, the works (well done Tsahy and thank Intuit). I would love to see more discussions around usage of CC by companies (what worked well for them, what did not), potential opportunities in the new paradigm of CC, what added value CC companies can provide their customers that on prem SW cannot (e.g. benchmarking) and recommended cloud services. Looking forward for the next meetup! ”
- J Singh
  
  “ Good meeting, thoughtful content, minimal self-promotion ”
- Maryrose Whittaker
  
  “ It is exactly what it says...."All things Cloud..." For me anyway, I think I gained more than I expected. A great mix of people and looking forward to the next one. ”
