Getting Real
extendr.com founders: Getting Real is “a crux component to our success”
“Getting Real concepts played key roles in framing our thinking regarding web development as we built and continue to build extendr.com and other web applications. We had an idea for an optimized search results service that our friends thought was worth building. We figured if they wanted it and offered to pay us for it maybe others would too. We just had to find away to build it. Enter the conceptual framework of Getting Real and the utility of Basecamp.”

“Getting Real helped us build ProofHQ on a $15,000 budget and bootstrap to breakeven”
“We started work on ProofHQ in Jan 2007 and I bought Getting Real on 15 March 2007. Although I had founded a tech start-up before, Getting Real summed up exactly how I wanted ProofHQ to be run. Frankly, it was an inspiration then, and continues to be today…We launched in May 2008. By November 2008 our revenues exceeded operating costs for the first time and we just broke even. All this has been possible by keeping the team small, keeping our costs low and moving fast.”
