Got me thinking that this is a kind of an open-source business. Apart from financials pretty much everything else is done openly through this "ongoing book": R&D, production issues, sales, customer support. Kudos to this guy and a big thank you for sharing all this.
(Though I still don't get the reasoning behind the name of the company. I honestly wouldn't have bought anything from them if not this brilliant book.)

- meowface 12y agoI can't say I understand the name either; I think it may have been a mistake. But I am a happy owner of a Schiit amp and DAC, and I absolutely love their startup tales, so they could call the company "Horse Fuckers Ltd." for all I care.
- mojuba 12y agoThe name you give is a statement of a kind. Like it or not it's your attitude towards your own products and your customers too. Schiit was meant to be cheap but great quality, so I could interpret it as "somewhat sophisticated shit", hence the unusual spelling. I know, it was meant to be funny and slightly controlversial, but you always have a wide choice of names that meet both criteria. And what you choose in the end is your statement.
