Tyler's Bio (from his Reddit AmA) "6 Years ago I quit my full time job to start a business. We’ve bootstrapped it to over $50 million/year in revenue and just won Top 25 Fastest Growing in SC for 4th year in a row. AMA!" We are debt free, 185 employees (trying to hire another 20…), and I started it with less then $1000. We’ve just won Top 25 Fastest Growing Companies in South Carolina for the 4th year in a row, and we are still growing around 30% YoY. We also place on the Inc 5000 every year. We’ve done it the “hard” way — Boot strapping it. We are also going through a bunch of changes. We are figuring out what it means to be a software company, along with transition from the entrepreneur “shoot from the hip” to the professionally managed company that does strategic planning. Both are difficult.
