This is the roadmap of entrepreneurship that seems simple in theory, yet its execution remains only a dream to the vast majority.
In an era of globalization driven by the advancement of technology and an up-and-coming generation of professionals looking for meaning in everything they do, you would be hard-pressed to find a person who hasn’t thought about bringing their entrepreneurial dream to fruition. The founders of A Cloud Guru, Ryan and Sam Kroonenburg, turned that thought into reality; what started with humble beginnings has led to success far beyond what they had imagined in the formative days of their business.
A Cloud Guru is one of the world’s first serverless startups. What companies had historically spent years building using traditional server-based architectures, Ryan and Sam built in less than 30 days. By leveraging the power of constant community feedback, A Cloud Guru scaled to become the company it is today—a state-of-the-art learning management platform that enables content to efficiently scale to nearly a million students in over 181 countries. By providing a comprehensive, up-to-date library of cloud education offerings, certification courses, skills assessments, hands-on labs, weekly technology-news updates by industry experts, and management dashboards that track student progress, A Cloud Guru enables both businesses and individuals to stay current, stay relevant, and deliver results with cloud computing. The content is developed by in-house cloud engineers and powered by serverless functions to match the demands of customers worldwide while making educational materials that once seemed impossible to produce and obtain, available to the masses. By doing so, A Cloud Guru has become an inspiration for innovators and represents out-of-the-box entrepreneurship that many aspire to emulate.
