rehashing a Livemocha blog post from Sept 2009

[from Sept 2009] 

It’s not often in that one has the opportunity to experience, in a corporate setting, the power of an talented team inspired by a common purpose.

When you get great talent together, and assemble them around a shared goal, and synchronize the effort efficiently, it’s like magic. It’s a special mojo and it’s awesome to be a part of it. It’s unlikely to happen in a big company with politics and management levels and turf battles and legacy products and egos that gum up the works.

In my opinion, Livemocha evolved into the kind of company that fulfills the promise of what start-ups can be and what they can do. Innovation every day. People who really care about building a best-of-breed experience, and drive hard to deliver what customers want. Working together, moving nimbly, accomplishing amazing things on ludicrous timelines.

Livemocha is pursuing some very lofty goals, and a lot of hard work has gone into it. I [was] really proud to be a part of the team each day.
