CloudContacts Blog

I was recently interviewed by the online monitoring service Pingdom about CloudContacts and some advice and tips for new entrepreneurs. Check out the full interview on the Pingdom blog. Here is one question that I am asked a lot in my travels. The truth is that you should always jump in the deep end of the pool – if you always swim in the shallow end, you will always wonder about what’s down at the other end.

Pingdom: Any final tips to people who are thinking about taking the plunge and launching a Web startup?

Allen: If you have an idea, go for it. It’s better to look back whether or not your startup is a success than to look back wondering what would have been. It takes a lot of attempts at the plate before you hit the home run. And no matter what, don’t let a few bloggers tell you otherwise.
