One year ago this week Wildfire came out of closed beta. We opened our doors to the world, and it has been an amazing ride ever since.

One year ago there were three people huddled around one desk, sharing an office with the great folks at the FBfund. Over the year, Wildfire’s suite of applications grew, and so did it’s headcount. We grew into our first office, and within 6 months found ourselves having outgrown it. When the walls seemed to be busting out of their seams, we split the team and moved the overflow into another space on the same block. The time it took for us to outgrow that space was much shorter than the first--within a month we were packing a u-Haul and moving to downtown Palo Alto, giddy as schoolchildren to move down into the center of the startup tornado, where all the cool Silicon Valley startups live.

In one year Wildfire went from 4 full time employees to 40. By the end of this calendar year there will be many more. With each added body, our team is enriched with more intelligence, more enthusiasm, more engagement, and more tenacity. With each addition, we become even better.

In one year we raised a round of funding, grew to over 12,000 Facebook fans, and leveled up from 6-packs on Friday evenings to our own office kegerator. We are thrilled.

And you know what else? We couldn’t have done it without you. And several others. Thank you very much to everybody taking the time to read this post-- your support, kind feedback, comments, and questions let us know that you are enthusiastic about and supportive of our growth.
