CEO Interview: Marten Mickos on how Open Source businesses can break through the $10-15 million plateau
,----[ Quote ]
| Miriam Tuerk sat down with Marten Mickos,
| former CEO of MySQL AB, to get Martenâs
| thoughts on how to break thru the sub
| $10-15 revenue plateau and achieve the
| hyper growth promise of Open Source.
|
| Marten Mickos, former CEO of MySQL AB, has
| the rather unique experience of having
| grown a commercial Open Source company to
| sales above $100 million over his 8-year
| tenure. Other than Red Hat, MySQL is the
| only company to have independently achieved
| this milestone, pre acquisition. Many
| market pundits comment on the difficulty
| Commercial Open Source companies have in
| breaking thru the $10-$15 million revenue
| plateau. I sat down with Marten to get his
| thoughts on the strategies for success at
| that stage of growth.

| The Commission has yet to give its official
| approval to the acquisition - a delay that
| Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said is costing
| Sun $100m every month it waits for a
| decision on the deal.
|
| And while he warned that "time is of the
| essence" for success with such high tech
| deals, the former MySQL boss believes the
| proposed acquisition could be a boon to the
| open source movement.
