Dear Danish Media
Lets Dance, Laugh and Celebrate – for Technology and Our New Local Hero – Mr. Dalgaard
Imagine that a Danish brad is taking his company public in America (its has never happened before – AND NO -> EuroTrust was not something we should count in – just be happy Danes where not obandoned from Nasdaq). Imagine – that this guy has gotten all the attention from the worlds biggest banks who now will take him public – and even suck his d… (desk) if he asked to…
Dear Danish Media and Journalists – all you got out of this story is that: its probobly too “dot com”ísh and never made profit – BUT HEY STOP. PLease note that:
This guy brougth his own bread to the bakery – by comming to SF and starting a company – and succeded.
This guy invented a whole new category in the “software as a service” space – and you will end up being refering more to this guy then any other danish entrepanuer.
This guys has a vision and a mission – that is reflecting what he got in Denmark selfconfindence and responsible social behaviour.
This guy will do one of the most interesting tech Ipo´s this year – following the Google movement with hosted services and millions of paying users – I was lately inviteted to talk at Hasso Platners (The co-founder and chairman at SAP) yearly event (I spoke about tits) and I saw him in the eyes when he talked about how endleesly surprised (and worried) they where at SAP by Google Earth (more maps.google.com) – and after this demonstration of THE POWER OF THE GOOGLE GRID there is NO END TO WHAT BUSINESS GOOGLE CAN DO A TAKE AT.
Why the heck am I bitching about this – I’m on holiday for f… sake… Well I was really sorry to see that the press had so little excitement about SuccesFactors going public – since I just hope that Danish IT/Entrepanuers will get the same selfconfidence boost as it got from Skype – seeing that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
And off course Im also influeced by a call from Lars – but he is just a bit worried that his highschool friends (and mother) will not see him in Superman Costume on Frontage of the danish Euromann (magazine) ;)
