Workday (NYSE:WDAY) was founded in 2005 and floated in 2012 with the valuation of $4.5B (currently $15B). However the Workday story is different because it was started by grownups and well geared towards enterprise from the start (business model, marketing, connection, financing, etc).
- josegonzalez 13y agoAs opposed to all other companies that are started by toddlers?
- e1g 13y agoThe "grownups" reference was snide and dismissive of the great work done by young founders - I should not have used it. For context, I was comparing the origin of Atlassian and Workday. Atlassian was started by two 22 year olds through a sizeable credit card debt. Workday was started by a 65 year old ex-PeopleSoft CEO with his funds and an additional $15M in VC finance. "Mature" would have been a better suited word. Thank you for calling me out on it.
