"One of the ways we like to invest is by talking with the buyers in the market, the CIOs and CSOs, and understanding what their pain points are, what solutions they are evaluating, and how open they are to working with early stage companies."
I'd like to see an enterprise knowledge network where CIO's spelled out their problems to invited software providers. A forum where high level problems are thrown out there as individual problems rather than lengthy RFPs.
The obvious problems of confidentiality are mitigated if there is no immediate agenda and the posts are initially anonymous. I.e. both sides are invite only and problems are posted anonymously. The identity of the poster is revealed to people offering suggestions/solutions if the poster wants them to follow up.
Too much of the enterprise arena is still hamstrung by a lack of transparency and reliance on anachronistic ways of communication for the enterprise software market to be an efficient marketplace.
I'd like to see an enterprise lazyweb, if you like.
