About this episode
Vineet Jain shares his journey of building Egnyte to over $300M in enterprise sales revenue without offering freemium options.

While Box and Dropbox gave products away and raised billions, Vineet charged from day one. His first enterprise sales pipeline started with $6,000 in SEM. It took 12 years to hit $100M - then just 3 more to reach $300M.
