203. Shirish Nadkarni On Microsoft, Hotmail, MSN and Blackberry Internet Email
About this episode
Serial entrepreneur Shirish Nadkarni came to the U.S. as a teenager with $25 in his pocket. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he worked at Microsoft where he engineered the $400 million acquisition of Hotmail and launched MSN.com, the world’s leading web portal.
Striking out on his own in 1999 at the height of the dot-com boom, he founded TeamOn Systems, an early pioneer of mobile email that was later acquired by BlackBerry before becoming BlackBerry Internet Email servicing over 50 million users at its peak.
His great new book is: From Startup to Exit: An Insider's Guide to Launching and Scaling Your Tech Business
