SixCentral is changing ownership
Acquired is probably too big of a word, however it’s actually the truth. Late Tuesday, September 15th 2009, we came to terms with a private bidder on the sale of SixCentral. It’s a bitter sweet day for us, as we’ve been entirely dedicated to the application since February 10th, 2009. Although we’re sad to see it go, we’re also very excited at the new opportunities the sale creates.
Ironically, it was never our intention to sell SixCentral, however over the last month (including the days leading up to the launch), we realized that we just didn’t have the time to devote to our baby.
That said, I’d like to introduce you to Ruben Gamez (http://twitter.com/earthlingworks), the new face of SixCentral. After a week of speaking with Ruben, we felt he was a great fit to take SixCentral in the appropriate direction. He has huge plans for the application as well as a great passion for helping improve the Proposal process. I strongly believe you all will find him as passionate as the prior SixCentral team.
Although this message seems like goodbye, the creators of SixCentral will still be around and on to the next venture. In case you forgot, the team behind SixCentral was:
- Design/Marketing: Ryan Scherf (http://twitter.com/ryanscherf)
- Development: Wess Cope (http://twitter.com/wattzilla)
- API/Development: Sean Kerr (http://twitter.com/irishengineer)
As for me (Ryan), I will be working closely with Ruben over the next few days to ensure a smooth transition for him to take the reigns of the business. I will most likely be involved in some of the future marketing and promotion campaigns with SixCentral, so this won’t be the last time you hear from me and my affiliation with the business.
We’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last 7 months, as it has definitely been a wild ride. Hopefully we’ll all meet again.
Please make sure to give Ruben a warm, gentle welcome.
