The growth of the Internet has been nothing but amazing. Since I sent my first email from a unix terminal in 1992 (using ‘vi’!), we’ve seen the Internet over 50 billion (!) new “things” connect.

With people using so many IoT devices and facing cyber-security threats, it’s more important than ever for networks to be properly managed. That’s where Milan-based tech startup Tanaza comes in. They provide a smarter and cheaper alternative for network solutions, empowering both internal and external IT departments with their software.

Tanaza CEO and founder Sebastiano Bertani joined Roland Siebelink on the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast this week. The two discussed Tanaza’s journey, the company’s multiple pivots, and many of the challenges it has faced, as well as those that are still ahead:

Why Tanaza considers itself the Android of networking while the bigger companies are Apple.
How distinguishing between short-term and long-term goals can impact how you approach customers.
Why avoiding distractions from the core of the company is Tanaza’s biggest challenge.
Why it’s okay not to play it safe and not be afraid of being the idiot in the room.
The importance of building a team that has chemistry and not just the best individual for a role.
