It'd be interesting to see how much influence working at Amazon has had on the founders, if at all, in shaping the business practices, the customer-centric nature of the services offered, the overall culture of the company they built, the values it stands for, and the approach it takes towards software industry in general.

Most start-up companies in SV and the bay area are either co-founded by ex-Yahoo or Xooglers (of late, the Facebook/Twitter alumni has joined in as well). Is working at/working of Twilio different than working at/working of the start-ups that are founded by founders from other companies?
