What more could a first-year startup ask for?

BTG has been in business for a little more than a year now and for our first year, I have to say that I am very proud. We have a very small handful of clients who have given us their generous faith. In turn, we have put them first and foremost in everything we do and our focus on their business has left us little time to focus on our own. So, we have not exploded out of the gate like some VC-funded Silicon Valley startup, but we have stepped forward steadily. I wish to personally thank the individuals and companies who have given us their valuable advice and trust in our first year of operation. Thanks to you, we had a first year that any modest startup can be proud of. We're getting stronger and better poised to deliver even more value in the months to come. Just yesterday, we had our first 'Meeting of the Board' which focused primarily on a host of rather boring legal and business finance matters (I'll spare you the excruciating details). Of particular importance, however, was our resolution to execute our plan for making Ben Shoemate an equal partner and equal leader in the company. In practice, we've already been operating this way, but we're making it official now. Anybody who has worked with Ben should know that this is one of the most promising achievements a company like ours can make. His creativity and unique way of thinking have improved how people work in leading organizations across the globe. For example, Ben has helped the world's leading package distribution company communicate with their workforce during the Katrina crisis in ways they could not have otherwise done. For the world's leading automobile manufacturer, he united three regions across the globe in a platform where new websites can be created and published entirely through point-and-click operations and no I.T. deployments (seriously). His ideas, designs, and innovations have delivered consistently positive feedback from users. They are not just "good", they are transformational. I am proud to have Ben leading this company into our second year and grateful to our customers for their trust in our ability to deliver real value. After one year of business, we are still quite small, but we have great talent and great clients. What more could a first-year startup ask for?
