Box CEO Aaron Levie On Growing Up During The ’90s Tech Boom [Video]

Last week, ReadWrite Editor-in-in-Chief Dan Lyons sat down with 27-year-old Box CEO Aaron Levie to discuss the complex market of enterprise cloud technology in the third ReadWrite Mix event in San Francisco.

In their wide-ranging, hour-long conversation, Lyons and Levie touched on just about every topic of interest in the enterprise startup space. But perhaps the most interesting aspects concerned Levie’s own unique story. This 1:53 clip touches on how growing up in Seattle helped inspire Levie to begin starting companies as a teenager (publishing HTML webpages to the Internet was all it took, he says), and how he had to try his hand at countless projects on the way to his dream of starting a successful company. Levie did acknowledge an alternate dream that included playing professional sports: “It’s either MLB, or start an Internet company,” he joked.

Blight On The Farm(ville): Zynga Sneaks In Major Layoffs During Apple Press Event

Anyone who knows the tech industry will tell you: the best time to announce bad news is smack dab in the middle of an Apple announcement. Actually, ask Zynga, which today snuck out some very bad news indeed — massive layoffs, possibly across a number of locations.

As the collective tech blogosphere had its blog blinders on during today’s iPad mini announcement in San Jose, reports bubbled up on Twitter that Zynga had quietly let go more than 100 employees in its Austin office. 

One (now former) Austin Zynga employee confirmed with us that the company had just announced a round of layoffs, and that TheVille along with another new IP “are both done.” According to the source, who requested not to be identified, employees who got the axe were given “less than two hours to vacate the premises, turn in [their] computers, phones and badges.”

Many of the people let go in Austin had been with Zynga for more than two years. Naturally it sounds like once they collect the physical remnants of their time at Zynga, they’ll be headed to the bar.

We’ve reached out to Zynga for comment, but received no word yet.

Meanwhile other reports suggest that the Chicago and Boston Zynga offices saw a parallel corporate culling while Tim Cook was on stage this morning. According to TechCrunch, the Boston team that was hit hard was on the verge of releasing a new product, possibly the new IP that our source suggested is dead-before-arrival.

Why didn’t anyone see this coming? Oh wait, we did

Here at ReadWrite, we’re not wholly surprised by the end, though the means were certainly conspicuous, both given the timing of the Apple event and the extreme short notice that our source reports. As our own Richard MacManus wrote back in June, Zynga’s fortunes are dangerously bound up in Facebook these days:

“Social gaming company Zynga had an outstanding 2011, leading to a well-hyped IPO in December. But Zynga’s biggest risk was always an over-reliance on Facebook, with most of its revenue and users coming from the social network. It’s now six months after Zynga’s IPO and its stock price has halved, currently sitting at under $5. That’s because many of its high profile gaming products are tanking.

“At the time of its IPO in mid-December, Zynga had the top five games on Facebook by daily active users. But, according to app tracking website AppData, three of those five apps have declined dramatically in Daily Active Users (DAI) since then.”

We’re a long way from November 2010, when John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins called Zynga was one of the best investments his company had ever made. In February of 2011 Kleiner Perkins and others invested $490 million in Zynga at a valuation approaching $10 billion. Today the comapny is worth $1.7 billion. Zynga stock has plunged 85% from its peak last summer, now trading at $2.21 per share.
