Blellow is two months old today and we thought it might be a good time to get to know each other better. Here are a few things you may not have known about Blellow and our team.
1. We are a bootstrap start up
We’re small, but we’re doing it ourselves.
2. We are based in San Antonio, TX
Home of the Alamo, Shamu, and the San Antonio Spurs! Go Spurs!
3. Our core team is comprised of 6 people.
And every last one of us is a freelancer!
4. Blellow launched its open beta at SxSWi on March 16, 2009.
In just two short months our community has grown to more than 6,000 members
5. One of our core team had her first business at the age of 10.
It was called Cosmic Donkey and involved designing business cards and flyers for local businesses.
6. One member of our team has done research on the small pox virus.
But don’t worry we spray all our code with Lysol, so you can’t catch it by joining.
7. Our studio is a beautiful 19th century Victorian house Rumor has it that it once used to be a brothel. (Please note the “used to be” and refrain from sending us any brothel related FAQs)
8. Between the core team members of Blellow we have:
Five children, five cats, two dogs, a blue and gold macaw, and a dozen fish.
9. One of our team members is a little superstitious
Since the launch of Blellow, she hasn’t left home without wearing something “blellow” colored.
10. One of our team members has worked for a mail order bride company
And a house arrest monitoring facility, though not at the same time!
We’d love to make Friday the Top 10 List Day on Blellow. Got a Top 10 list you want to share with our readers? Let us know!
