Welcome to Episode 17 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast of Boston's most trusted source for startup and tech jobs, news, and insights!

For this episode of The VentureFizz Podcast, I interviewed Ellen Rubin, Co-Founder & CEO of ClearSky Data.

Ellen is a serial entrepreneur. She has been a co-founder of three companies and was an early employee at Netezza, a company that went public and was later acquired by IBM for approximately $1.7B.

In this podcast, we cover a ton of great topics, like the Netezza journey from stealth to IPO, how CloudSwitch (a prior company) was an early pioneer of cloud computing for enterprise, and the story behind ClearSky Data.

We also surface some great advice for entrepreneurs, like how to validate your idea in the market, how to land your first early adopter customers, and lots more!
