Our Founders:

Our glorious leaders! :P Mitch and Eddie met on IRC and decided to partner up when they realised they were both building similar products. They are not arrogant, they love working with smart people, they are very good at motivating the team, and they won't treat you like a cog in their machine. If you have the desire to one day go out and take a shot at your own startup you will learn a lot from these two.
