Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is the story of how David Brown, along with two partners, started a small software company and grew it to $13 million in annual sales and over 100 employees. The book is not about business, it is about people. It is about how three young rag-tag twenty-somethings could conceive and run a company in a non-traditional way, providing focus on employees and customers, not on the business and profits. Yet, they became highly successful at all the things they didn't set out to do and had a lot of fun along the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars a fun read, March 24, 2005

By	David Lenzi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a surprisingly engaging tale of the author's professional life, from stumbling into computerized mapping while in college, to starting and running an ultimately succesful company that sold ambulance dispatching software. The most intersting aspect is not so much the details of the business, but how the author and partners made carefull, and ultimately wise business decisions. the personal writing style is also amusing, and some of the personel stories are hilarious. I enjoyed the book enough that I read it in only a couple of sittings.
