To Affinity and beyond
After a year in San Francisco, Malgosia & I are now back in Toronto.
It was a gut-wrenching decision, but we left Affinity Labs at the end of September to embark again on a venture of our own! We enjoyed many close friendships and tremendous success during our 10 months at Affinity Labs—these were some of the best times of our lives. We went from 6 employees to over 30, and the product & technology went from 0 to awesome. (Check out PoliceLink, FireLink, ArtBistro, TechCommunity, TheApple, Nursinglink, and GovCentral!)
However, an opportunity presented itself that no entrepreneur could ignore. We closed a significant investment round, from a global education company, with the mandate to build a world-changing new platform for online learning communities. Savvica is now back in action, and we’ll be launching a wholly-new online education service in early 2008.
We are hiring rapidly right now, so kindly have a look at our jobs page to see if you are someone you know would be a good fit.
We’ll continue to post here, hopefully more regularly, about our ongoing adventures in business and marriage!
Many congratulations to you both! Best of luck in your new endeavor too. Sound very exciting =)
