Israel On Blog: Hi it’s nice to have you hear on Israel-On-Blog

Michael Iron: Thanks, it’s great to be here.

Israel On Blog: We hear you are very busy at Streamsoft these days

Michael Iron: Yes, we are busy preparing our launch of the Streamsoft player. It’s an exciting time for us. The online video space is very hot and so is the P2P landscape and we believe we will have a major impact on both.

Israel On Blog: First some personal questions for our readers.

Michael Iron: Please go ahead.

Israel On Blog: How did you get started in this business?

Michael Iron: I’ve wanted to be a high tech entrepreneur since I was ten years old.  When I had the idea, it was classic high tech mode: I got my team behind me, got some investors and went straight to the garage.

Israel On Blog: Where were you educated?  Did you study technology?

Michael Iron: I studied computer science at Tel Aviv University but I value ability over formal education. The important thing in our business is execution.

Israel On Blog: What are your professional passions?

Michael Iron: I love to create products that people like to use.

Israel On Blog: How do you manage the company and staff, we hear that you are hiring top notch developers these days?

I am a macro manager.  I am the guy in charge of vision, and I hire people who are independent self starters and best of breed in what they do.  We are a team of MVP’s.

Israel On Blog: Describe a typical day at Streamsoft.

Michael Iron: The work environment is conducive to creativity: we’ve a beachfront office; we come in on bicycles, shorts and sandals.  There’s a healthy lunch. But not to forget – everybody works like hell and deadlines are strict

Israel On Blog: Thank you very much for your time, Michael Iron, CEO of Streamsoft.

Michael Iron: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk Streamsoft and our team.
