A big thank you to Lori Hawkins for her article in the Austin American Statesman about Cubit Planning and the other Capital Factory companies. My favorite quotes from Lori’s article are:
“I handed my badge to my boss and headed over to the Capital Factory kickoff party,” said Morales, who was a Web developer at the University of Texas.
“We weren’t charging because we weren’t ready to put a price on it, and we were worried our users wouldn’t pay,” Morales said. “But our mentors kept saying: ‘You’ve got people using your stuff, will they pay for it? Why not? What are you risking?’ So we took the chance, and now we’re selling reports.”
