Congrats to Jesse Lipson and the ShareFile team on the acquisition by Citrix.
We're a customer and a huge fan of both the product and the team at ShareFile. Jesse and the team built one of the fastest growing software companies in the US right here in Raleigh. They deserve a lot of credit and did it all without VC.
You can read more about the acquisition here, here and here.
Big thanks to Zack Mansfield and sponsors HPG, Windstream and Smith Anderson for putting together Startup Happy Hour last night in Raleigh.
If you haven't been to Lonerider Brewing Company before, you need to check it out too. The venue is a cool setting, worked really well and accomodated the ~200 people that attended.
For me, it was a good opportunity to re-connect with a lot of people and meet some new entrepreneurs too. I've had a lot of follow up calls and emails today from it. It was a good mix of people - entrepreneurs and service providers. I like the casual conversations that occur in that kind of setting.
Add this one to your list of must attend events here. Fingers crossed that Zack will do it again soon.
