Innovation Conference: Dan Amiga, Co-Founder and CTO at Island

Watch our exclusive interview with Dan Amiga, Co-Founder and CTO at Island.

Island revolutionizes the enterprise browser by not only enhancing #security but also improving user experience and operational #efficiency. Dan takes us back to the early days, when the #EnterpriseBrowser category didn’t exist, and shares how they convinced their first customer—and even investors—that Island could give them an unfair advantage in efficiency.

As a serial #entrepreneur, Dan reflected on lessons from his previous company, #Fireglass, which he sold to Symantec for $250 million. One key insight: end-user experience is everything—a realization that ultimately helped Island push new boundaries in enterprise Browser.

We also discussed how #raising $730 million in a relatively short period enabled them to invest early in building a strong, scalable company architecture.

And what is the one rule. and one rule only, at Island? Move fast and get into the details. ⚡🔍
