Born in the heart of Silicon Valley, Doron David has entrepreneurship in his blood.<\/p>\n

From a young age, he was exposed to the wonders of this burgeoning tech capital, and he knew he needed to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

With a hunger for knowledge, Doron studied abroad in Israel after high school where he began his first entrepreneurial adventure. He started a small food business that reached profitability within the first two weeks. Having tasted the startup world, he later sold his business before heading back to New York to study entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

As he worked toward his degree, Doron learned there was no better way to study a subject than being thrust into the throes of it. Within a month of returning to New York, he was brought on as the VP of Operations for startup KIS Group<\/a>, where he remained for two and a half years.<\/p>\n

When it was time for a new challenge, Doron met fellow classmate and entrepreneur Adam Moisa. He was in the beginning stages of founding Cloudifyd<\/a>, a service that links storage clouds together, where Doron now works as the VP of Operations.<\/p>\n

For this edition of Member Spotlight, a series where we showcase entrepreneurs of emerging companies, we chatted with Doron about his hunger to learn and his love for the cloud.<\/p>\n

I knew what it was like to not have any support when you\u2019re first starting out.<\/strong> Adam had a great business idea, but it needed some structure. Because I had operational experience, I offered to help with his new venture. Immediately, Adam asked me to partner with him, and once I graduated, I said \u201cLet\u2019s do this\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cloudifyd is like the Superman of clouds.<\/strong> Our technology bridges the gap between services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Facebook by forcing them to speak a “universal language.” It\u2019s like a dashboard for your digital life that allows users to accumulate all of their storage and organize content from several services into one place.<\/p>\n

I’m all about organization.<\/strong> Knowing that I can use Cloudifyd to organize all of my documents, photos, music, notes, bookmarks, and web clippings is amazing. But the fact that I can now share those things with anyone without having to worry about what cloud they use is what really puts a smile on my face.<\/p>\n

Be active about wanting to learn.<\/strong> I do a lot of online reading. I watch TV with my phone in my hand, and I Google everything that I don\u2019t know or that I want to know more about. If i\u2019m watching Jimmy Fallon, I\u2019m going to Google and read seven different articles while I\u2019m watching the show because I want to know about each guest. I\u2019m not shy; I\u2019m not scared to go and learn new things.<\/p>\n

Be ready for the ride!<\/strong> Many people think being an entrepreneur means showing up in shorts and a tee shirt at 11 a.m. and working in an office fully-stocked with beer. But the reality is that odds are against us. We have to make sure we work harder than everyone else to earn a spot at the top.<\/p>\n
