Because I needed an invoicing application when I started my own business in 2006. I put it on the internet and it just grew since then. It practically found me :)
I'll have my first employee starting April 1st. After 15 solo years with the occasional freelancer working for me she will be helping me and I will help her build our lives on this company that founded itself so many years ago.
This is a new chapter for me, too, because I don't really know how to be a boss. Quite crazy…
It's called a GmbH in Germany but I guess it's somewhere the same thing. I put down 12.500€ and after a lot of work with notaries and my tax councilor I'm now employed at my own company. I'm no longer my company. It actually exists out of it's own right.
