A new high

Nathan Kontny:

Back in February of this year, Jason announced that 37signals would be renaming themselves Basecamp, and focusing on their flagship, project management product. To do so, they would sell or spin-off their other successful and profitable products like Highrise, a small business CRM tool.

Now, last week, seven years after we met at that talk I gave, Jason, his business partner, David Heinemeier Hansson, and I signed a deal to spin-off Highrise as its own company - a company I’m taking over as CEO.

Great news for Nathan and for Highrise.
