Millions? Try billions because, on this episode of First Pitches, we talk with Aaron Levie, co-founder, and CEO of Box, an enterprise software company with a market cap of nearly 3 billion dollars.

But building a successful company isn’t just about innovation; you need to be disruptive. You have to make it such that the incumbent in your market can’t copy you because it isn’t attractive to their business model.

And if you can do that, well you might be on your way to building a billion-dollar business.
