Part product lab, part consulting shop, building and shipping software businesses from scratch. My first company reborn with twenty-five years of scars: the redux. ## A long lineof attempts. Some shipped to acquisition, some taught me what not to do next time. Both counted. The consumer side of Lolli was sold to Thesis, and the backend guts were renamed to some other company name that I can never remember. That happened after I left, so I do not really keep up with it. Does not really count as an acquisition, I do not think. Cosmic was acquired by PopSugar and then Rakuten. SeedMatrix was acquired by Context Network. More than a decade later I am back, consulting on the platform through Senternet. Senternet was acquired by another hosting company that has long since disappeared. ## Notes from the build.
