Roger Lee on Next Big Thing and Biggest Mistake of Entrepreneurs

Elevator Pitch: Roger Lee of Battery Ventures | SiliconBeat: "Q: WHAT’S THE BIGGEST MISTAKE ENTREPRENEURS MAKE? A: Bad hiring. They either hire the wrong people, and/or they don’t remove them quickly enough . . . Most entrepreneurs have a bold vision, but they need to complement that with great execution. If they don’t hire the right people, great execution is nearly impossible.
Q: WHAT’S THE NEXT BIG THING GOING TO BE?
A: I think the entire enterprise software stack will get rebuilt over the next 10 years. Enterprise software will look much more like Google/Apple/etc. and much less like Microsoft/Oracle/Salesforce/etc. It will be beautifully designed; be ‘bought’ (not ‘sold’) through freemium models; will incorporate ‘Big Data’ to make end-users more productive; and will factor in mobility from day one."
