About Our Firm
Based in San Diego, we are a group of young web developers and marketers who have founded many successful "web 2.0" companies. We believe that the Internet offers an enormous opportunity for political candidates and organizations to truly connect with voters in ways not possible before. We want to use our expertise and experience to make that happen.

Our Experience
In 2003, we founded Engrade.com, a free online gradebook for teachers. Engrade's ease-of-use and constantly improving set of features made it an instant hit. Press coverage in publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Classroom Connect drove over 300,000 users to the service.

In 2006, we developed Socialmeter.com which provides social web analytics for blogs and websites. Our concentrated PR effort placed Socialmeter on every major Web 2.0 hot spot including the front pages of TechCrunch, Digg, Delicious, and StumbleUpon. In late 2006 we sold Socialmeter to New-York-based Adaptive Blue in 2006.

In 2007, our team launched sister sites Vidmeter.com and Vidmetrix.com which provide viral video analytics for major brands such as Microsoft, Cadbury Adams, and Ray-ban. Upon launch, we lead a massive blog outreach program that garnered Vidmeter coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, the New York Times, Wired, Lifehacker, and many more. In 2008, Vidmeter Incorporated was acquired by Boston-based Visible Measures.

Technology
For back-end programming, we use a LAMP architecture. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL which have proven to be the most secure, the most stable, and the most reliable server software programs on the market today. Specifically for Linux, we use CentOS 4+ because it is built from the ground up as a server platform. For hosting, we have a dedicated array of redundant, multi-core Pentium, RAID 1 servers at multiple locations across the country. For front end programming, we use XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, XML, and Flash.
