Founder Stories: 10gen's Dwight Merriman On His Own Style Of Serial Entrepreneurship
There are founders, and then there are founders. Dwight Merriman is a rare breed of founder. A serial entrepreneur who has helped co-found and lead companies such as DoubleClick, BusinessInsider, Gilt Groupe, and Panther Express. And, as if that weren't enough, his latest endeavor could be just as big, if not bigger, than the ones before it.Merriman is one of the main brains behind MongoDB and is a CEO of 10gen, focused on creating a new generation of database technology using NoSQYL. The goal is to reinvent online databases, and the insights were derived from the technical challenges he faces while building and scaling a previous company. At DoubleClick, the site could never be down, and that was during a time when computers were slower, it was harder to find load balance, and there were daily challenges with processing, storing, and scaling data, so much so they had to write their own software to handle their specific problems.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5sN2QeCWYjg/
