Breakfast with Steve Ballmer
A friend of mine just told me about his meeting with Steve Ballmer a few weeks ago. He works at a very innovative start-up and Microsoft was interested in their technology. You’ll forgive me if I don’t mention the name of the company or my friend.
They met Steve Ballmer during a breakfast session and were given 30 minutes. They prepared a presentation which highlighted the technical aspects of their technology and were prepared for some tough questions. It turned out that Ballmer was only interested in the big and broad vision and hardly in any details. Ballmer talked for 29 minutes out of the 30 they were given and hardly asked questions.
My friend wasn’t disappointed at all and I think he might do a good deal with Microsoft some day. I just thought it would be a good thing to know if you are ever going to meet Steve Ballmer for breakfast too…
