Appcelerator – the company founded in 2006 by Jeff Haynie and Nolan Wright, that took a first round in 2008 from Storm Ventures – recently released Titanium preview, an open source platform for building desktop applications using Web technologies.
At the open source think tank I met Jeff Kunz, formerly Olliance Group partner and now VP of Business Development at Appcelerator, and I asked him some background about Appcelerator and its business model.
Hi Roberto,
My name is Trevor and I work at Appcelerator. I happened upon your article written about Appcelerator and your interview with our VP of Biz Dev Jeff regarding Appcelerator’s business model. It is refreshing to see something written about our business strategy and how we plan to make money. Most of the articles that I read are written solely about the technical side of our services. It is always good to get people on both sides of the spectrum involved in discussing and talking about what we do, from both a technical standpoint and also a business, monetary standpoint. To show our appreciation the Appcelerator team would like to send you some cool Appcelerator “swag”(a titanium t-shirt and an Appcelerator wristband). If you would like that, please send me your mailing address and I will make sure to get them to you.
Thanks,
Trevor
Hi Trevor,
I am glad you appreciated my blog post, I can tell you I wrote it hoping you would have offered me the Appcelerator “swag”. 🙂
On a more serious line of thought, Jeff was very open to talk about your business strategy, and I was happy to share it with my readers.
