Welcome to the Business of Software blog

In October 1999 Simon Galbraith and I set up Red Gate Software. Over the past 8 years we’ve grown from 2 people to almost 100. Although we have had our successes, we’ve also made plenty of mistakes.

I’m running a conference in San Jose at the end of October. The people I’ve invited to speak are world-class thinkers, doers, writers and speakers who I wish I’d heard of earlier, and listened to more. I’m hoping that by bringing them together in one place, over two days, we will all learn how to grow, set up and run our businesses better.
