Dear FiberGeneration Readers : I must apologize for the poor blogging over the last couple of weeks. Frankly speaking, should I find a blog like mine today, I would not click on the 'subscribe' button ! I haven't even post a twitt since seven days.
The reason for such a (relative) silence is simple : I'm building up a new company. Not mine, not for me, but still a pretty fun job. My employer : a french group, currently involved in the Optical Networks business. That's the only thing I'm allowed to disclose publicly at the moment. We're working in stealth mode, as the market we want to penetrate is quite a competitive one.
There are so many things I'd like to share with you Dear Readers on this new (ad)venture that I even thought lauching another blog under a nickname. You know, something like 'Fake Nicolas Sarkozy'. Too late. Gonna find another one.
Because there's so much good material for this blog : working in a 50-people SMB french firm, bringing them to the Web 2.0 level (you know, RSS feeds, collaborative apps, sharing, etc...), and of course, creating a new business from scratch by considering the holding company as the VCs so that I have to pitch the business plan and all that sort of startup things which are so fun to do live...
For instance, how to show your boss (read : your investors) that you can easily reach break-even by developping only three customers and doing business as unusual with them instead of going out there with a traditional cold calls approach and try to grab some clients here and there.
I'll be able to share all that exciting yet fruitful experience with you Dear Readers as soon as the new co(mpany) goes live, somewhere in Q1 2008.
In the meantime, maybe I'll find a way to post a couple of things without breaking up the cover shield. I gonna call on Fake Nicolas Sarkozy ;-)
