One Small Step For…

Yes, the best kept secret is finally out: We’ve moved into some office space.

As our very small company has grown we’ve been able to do some incredible things and we’re at the point now where being virtual isn’t enough for us to accelerate the pace at which we want to grow. Sure, we’re all digital natives but there’s something about smelling what each other had for lunch that just… well, brings us closer and perhaps makes us even more productive.

Perhaps.

But, the story gets even better…

We’ve also finished an incubation round of capital for our humble startup! This will (of course) help accelerate some of our product development as we move forward creating amazing stuff for you guys!

We couldn’t be more stoked.

Sure, it’s nothing much to look (at least for now, until Jared busts out some environmental design) but we’re super grateful to our investors and their offer to house our small business in their facilities at the killer rate of $0.00 per month. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

This just seems like the natural next step for a growing business and our commitment to you is still the same as it was before we had the opportunity to sit in the same room with each other – create great web products and have a killer fun time doing it too.

Thanks for all your amazing support – we wouldn’t be here without you.

We’re creating a pretty amazing story and you’re all a part of it.

When I'm not working with the best partners in the world I'm blogging like it's going out of style and coaching others because I love it. I love what I do and the people I get to do it with. I consider myself the luckiest man alive

  8. Tell us more about it for example:

    Did you have to give up any ownership in the company?
    Do you have targets that you have to hit to stay in the program?
    What do you plan to do with the capital investment pay salaries purchase things?
    What are your neighbors like?

    • - Nope!
      - We have targets defined internally among the team but no one is speaking ‘into’ the company
      - We’ve got some plans for it though the majority is not going towards our salaries
      - They’re awesome! Lots of other engineers, programmers, and geeks :)
