Skalfa eCommerce Press

Happy Birthday Skalfa!

This is that time of the year again. On the first day of winter we celebrate the birthday of Skalfa eCommerce. Today we hit the 5 year milestone.

Let me go a little personal here. When 5 years ago I announced starting a new company I was not nearly confident it’s going to shoot. We needed to start from scratch after the first year so we were a software product company without a product. Hell, that was tough but that was the time we again proved the simple truth – gather talents and build something people want. That worked. Any piece of software can be built if you have capable people on your tank and some passionate customers to start with. Some people were very early to grasp values we were aiming at.

Now SkaDate is one of the most recognizable names in the online dating software world. We never aimed at “growing big” but grew 5 times in staff – by customer need.

Thank you all for supporting us all these years. By using our products and telling us where we need to improve you’ve been pushing us forward. A lot of your ideas are surprising and encouraging. Every time we raise another big project on SkaDate I feel excited about how people use our software. I hope to enjoy it years and years on. The upcoming year is going to be revolutionary for our company with the launch of new open source and SaaS products in our core competence marketplace. Watch our progress, we want to share that with you.

Happy Birthday Skalfa!

Happy birthday Skalfa eCommerce!

Let me congratulate all Skalfa employees and customers with this important date. We just turned 4 years!

There are a lot of complexities in running a social tech company and we’ve eaten a lot of them during all this time learning to produce the software that solves people’s needs and supporting their businesses. As we move forward our vision clears out, our operations get more streamlined, and our focus gets even sharper as Skalfa capitalizes on its niche and shows steady growth.

I’m glad we made no layoffs since the nuclear winter start and don’t plan any in the nearest future. I can’t remember any moment in our history when we had a better team than now. That’s a fascinating feeling when you see talents working on what they can do best of all.

We plan revolutionary upgrades for 2 of our products and at least 2 new product launches in the upcoming year. And we are starting with that right now. The world is going to see the result of our hard work in exactly 30 days. Well, some select customers are going to see it in just 15.

Thanks for kicking with us!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
