We closed the doors to the Lab this week. Looking at the emptied space was pretty sad, but we have nothing but fond memories of the place. So many great people and projects graced our makeshift office during its brief existence this year, and I’m grateful for everyone’s support.
We simply ran out of time as a company! As a bootstrapping startup, you’re always in a race against the clock. The modest revenue streams we’ve created over the past year and a half just aren’t enough to sustain us, so it’s time to try something new. Snowcap Labs will not be taking on new work, and each of us is exploring our own options for what to do next.
That said, I don’t exactly want to go fly a cubicle for 60 hours a week, now. So I’m evaluating my options (and there are a lot of really great projects to get involved with in Atlanta right now), but ideally I will find something that I’m excited to work on and that can offset my personal cash flow needs.
If you’d like to discuss your cool project with me, or you just want to shoot the breeze, get ahold of me (via Twitter or just leave a comment) soon and we’ll schedule a lunch or coffee (or even drinks!)
Emotional as all of this is, I see this as a good thing. There are no hard feelings, we’ll each get residual checks going forward, and I’ve still got our (wicked!) web video recording software at my disposal. I’m very excited about being Atlanta’s newest entrepreneurial “free agent”, and you can bet I’m already thinking about how to get into a new coworking situation!
