ConceptShare adds Will Pate and others, almost doubling in size overnight
{ October 2nd, 2007 }
This is the most excited I have been about making a blog post in a long time. There is a lot of great stuff happening at ConceptShare and this is just the first in series of upcoming announcements. The family has been forced to grow quickly in order to meet the overwhelming demand for ConceptShare. Since our inception last year, ConceptShare ran as a 3 person company that has managed to build ConceptShare from a crazy idea on the back of a napkin, into a major player in the design collaboration space who’s client list reads of Fortune 100 companies, major advertising firms around the world, freelancers, web shops and even recently a few professional sports teams and leagues. Our rapid growth into new markets around the world and an increasing number of strategic partnerships with leading technology companies have lead us to the point at which we needed more hands on deck to manage the non stop flow and action around the office.
We didn’t want to add just anyone to the team ….we wanted to build a team that would carry forward our passion and dedication to our users. We think that we have assembled a truly kick ass team!!! Matthew Richer, a extremely talented web application developer joins co-founder Chris D’Aoust on our development team. Newly appointed Business Manager, Darren Petras brings his financial, legal and sales background to help run our global business. Special Projects Manager Dennis Reich adds his technology and business experience to help with the our ongoing list of partnerships and growing custom projects that need special attention. And last but not least we welcome Will Pate as our the ConceptShare Community Evangelist.
The final hire needs a bit more room. Every once and a while you have the opportunity to really work with people that are truly great ….this is one of those opportunities for the ConceptShare team. Will brings a tremendous amount of experience and passion to his role within Conceptshare. He has worked with the great guys over at Flock, Rain City Studios and currently the co-host of commandN. He really fits with the culture that we have built.
The next few months are going to be truly crazy. We have a new interface being rolled out, new partnerships to announce and a bunch of exciting developments that are going to make things even better for our users.
Cheers
Scott

Scott, the first time I met you and Bernie, you had a concept and great ambitions. It’s fantastic to see what you’ve accomplished with your small team in a short time and that you’re now thriving and growing.
Congratulations to the entire ConceptShare team on all your success so far!

Belated congratulations, Scott and Bernie! Of your new hires, Will is the only one I know, but if he’s any indication of the quality you’ve found (and knowing you I’m sure you’ve insisted on it), you’ve continued to have a great team even through huge growth (in percentage terms).
It’s hard to believe that the first time I met you, at the mesh 2006 after party (I think; I could be wrong), all I congratulated you for in addition to (of course) the great concept was having found that the domain conceptshare.com was available! Now that you’re “sharing your concept” with a much larger team, I look forward to being able to congratulate you for more and more accomplishments.
