Interview: Threadless CTO Harper Reed Heads to Rackspace
- rizzn 17y agoKristen Nicole sat down with Threadless CTO Harper Reed yesterday, just ahead of his announcement of his move to Rackspace. Harper is a prolific serial entrepreneur. Good read.
- adamhowell 17y agoIt's weird that Jeffrey Kalmikoff (cofounder) left for Digg earlier this month and now the CTO's leaving, too. Especially at a company that's had years of seemingly happy, noneventful growth. Guess it could be just a coincidence, but I wonder if it's not something else (purchase, etc).
- harper 17y agoI think it was a bit of coincidence and a bit how we grew up doing threadless and needed to graduate to move on. it was hilariously timed though.
- me 17y agoRackspace is on a roll.
- pchristensen 17y agoHow great would it be to be able to say this: "the goals i had set for myself were all accomplished. I was done. We had accomplished a lot and since threadless image was in a great place – i was able to exit without feeling like there was more to do."
- harper 17y agoIt is certainly an amazing situation. it took a long time and a lot of work. but when i was there it was clarity. i felt like i could see forever. ;)
- dschobel 17y agoCongratulations to Harper. Met him briefly at bar camp here in Chicago last year. I'll never forget when some unfortunate fellow let slip that he did SEO for a living and Harper just ripped into him for "gaming the web". It was a sight to behold.
