Aboolla case study: Defining the “next big thing” in a crowded market
Kimberlie Cerrone is an experienced Silicon Valley finance, legal and business development executive and angel investor, having served in numerous venture-backed startups and invested in more than 80 startup companies. Still, when she started her own company, Cerrone experienced firsthand how hard it can be for entrepreneurs to articulate their value propositions – even for an entrepreneur who has spent almost her entire career working with startups. Learn more about how Guidewire Group helped her company Aboolla.
Green Sherpa case study: Capitalizing on early success
Masen Yaffee and Erin Lozano started Green Sherpa with a simple yet elegant idea: consumers of personal finance software should have the familiarity and functionality of boxed software such as Intuit’s Quicken combined with the convenience and economy of a Web-based service based on the software-as-service (SaaS) model. It was a value proposition that caught the attention of Guidewire Group Chairman and CEO Chris Shipley, who had actively covered the personal finance software market earlier in her career and understood the value of the software Green Sherpa was bringing to market. Find out how with the complete Green Sherpa case study Guidewire Group helped Green Sherpa.
