Great topic with a lot of good questions and answers that i think will be quite helpful to a lot of entrepreneurs. I'll pass this along. Two thumbs up to Jeff as I think he was a terrific guest and quite forthcoming with valuable insights. I liked the swooshing, music & tidbits that were mixed into the interview.</p> First time watching this new format.

I was certain they would hold out for an IPO. Everything seem to be on track. I too have predicted Zimbra would be one of those big brands Salesforce.com. I interviewed some of the folks several times early this year. I am sure that Satish and his VCs have some other reason. Oh, well.</p> <p>I am relatively new to your show, but I love the mixed media format. Jeff's discussion was very interesting. Great topics guys.</p> <p>Kameran Ahari http://gotastrategy.typepad.com</p> With respect to Zimbra, I tend to agree…a bit. I was certain they would hold out for an IPO.

On the seed round dilution, the norm these days is about 15/20%. But as I said, it has to be put in the perspective of your financing strategy as opposed to a single independent event.

I actually like the "swooshing" sound or the idea of it because at times I tend to open another tab and work on other things while listening to the interview but if I hear a "swoosh" I sometimes go back to see the ticker. Maybe a quicker more simplistic sound would be better.</p> Great interview.
