After almost four years in our original office in downtown Palo Alto, it was time to accept that we just couldn’t keep stuffing people in the space.
Now, I’m thrilled to say that we have found and moved into a fantastic new office!
Thank you to all that responded to our request for office suggestions. Also, a special thank you to Hal Rucker who gave us the tip about the space we actually chose.
