We pride ourselves on maintaining long-term relationships with our clients. However, it’s hard to weep (except for joy) every time one of our clients breaks up with us because they’ve been sold for millions upon millions of dollars.
Q: Why do we keep losing our best clients? A: They get acquired for millions of dollars.
Primitive Spark designed an award-winning monitoring application for startup Integrien. Shortly afterward, VMWare snapped up the company for $100 million. That app, now one of VMWare’s flagship products, brings in $900 million a year.
We transformed Opera Solutions’ tedious financial analytics tools into an intuitive, web-based suite of products for executives. After sharing our prototype with investors, Opera quickly raised $84 million in new funding.
The product we designed for Neverfail won Best in Show at VMWorld 2013. In 2014 they were purchased by Artisan Infrastructure.
We worked closely with Central Desktop to re-envision their product design for the future and to differentiate them from an increasingly saturated market. Web productivity tools giant PGI purchased them within four months of our collaboration, and Central Desktop was rebranded as iMeet Central.
We designed a powerful, intuitive, mobile-friendly interface for online escrow industry innovator Agreed. A few months later, industry heavyweight Escrow.com swooped in and purchased them.
