As the vast majority of businesses build their organizations and operations on the cloud, a new wave of technology providers is emerging. These next-generation cloud providers look very different than they did in the past, as do their service provider ecosystems. The labor models, investment and go-to-market strategies that worked in the first and second wave of the cloud have shifted. Tercera, spanish for 'third', we are a group of invested operators dedicated to identifying and strengthening the next-level services firms who will lead this third-wave of cloud computing.
