Episode description

Some products are vitamins and some are painkillers – the best, though, are both. This is what Clara Shih, founder and CEO of Hearsay Systems, learned in the early years of her software startup. To survive, she needed to shift her platform from a nice-to-have into a can’t-live-without.

Cameo appearances: Shellye Archambeau (MetricStream), Gary Alexander (MyImprov driving school).
