Or do what I think 37signals should have done with sortfolio. Start a subsidiary and put 1-2 people removed from your company in charge of it. That way you still own the IP, but you aren't required to focus on it.
- mindcrime 14y agoHeh, I don't think we're big enough for a subsidiary yet. :-) But yeah, at some point I think we'll do something with it, even if it's just putting it up on Github. We're an Open Source startup anyway (as in, all of our core offerings are Open Source / AL 2.0 licensed), so doing that kind of thing is in our DNA.
