Bootstrapping a Micro-ISV, Exposed

Look ma’, I’m in the paper!

Today’s edition of Il Sole 24 Ore, one of Italy’s major newspapers – think “Italian Financial Times” – published an article about Balsamiq and yours truly (click on the image for a bigger version).

Printed newspapers might be dying, but there’s definitely something special about seeing your own name “in the paper”! :) My parents certainly are proud.

How did this happen? Simple: the journalist (Emil Abirascid) read this blog review and thought Balsamiq was interesting enough to contact me and send me a few questions via email. Thanks so much Fabrizio!

    You gotta frame it and put it on the wall. Then when you get an office,
    you can hang it in the reception room :)

    Congrats!

    Whats “PMI tech”, is that like the column name ?

    [Peldi: I was just informed that PMI is italian for SMB, it means Piccola-Media-Impresa, or Small-Medium-Business]
