Mark Benioff, now Chairman, and CEO created Salesforce in 1999.

He had a vision to empower

businesses with the way they connect to their customers.

He had 30 years of industry experience, had formative years at Apple and leadership experience at

Oracle but he had to travel the hard road to finance his venture.

Silicon Valley venture capitalists repeatedly refused to invest in his start up so he had to personally raise money through friends to start

Salesforce.

social enterprise solutions.
