In the finish. Today I have signed every possible paper the lawyer could find, and with this, I have officially started my company – Palmtree Software Development Ltd.
The name was a tough cookie – honestly, although people told me that picking the name will be the least of my problems, it turned out that finding a name is the hardest step in the whole process. In the end I picked Palmtree, for several reasons:
-
-
-
-
- I really, really like palm trees.
- Palm trees have a varieties of fruits – a palmtree can yield coconuts, bananas, dates, pineapples (yes, all different kind of palm trees, but palm trees).
- Palmtrees can be used to build rafts, huts, the leaves can be turned into clothes, fans.
- The palmtree evokes images of relaxation, not rushing and stress
-
-
- Of course now comes the harder part of the whole business, but so far I have a few ideas, and a paying contract which always means good things – as far as I remember, the income is the good part of having a business, and the costs are the not so good part.
Yes, and learning on the run, all the interesting things that a small business owner needs. That is another good thing about this endeavour.

Congrats on getting things up off the ground. Best of luck to you.
Thank you, Fred. :)
Roland, I know how tough this journey has been and I am celebrating with you! I think it's great that you are sharing this with everyone giving others a peek into the process. You are such a superstar and I know that your business will take off!
Thank you Karen :)
I hope it will take off, I securely tied it to a Boeing 747, most likely that will be able to lift it :)
Congrats! What exactly does your new business do — and is it related to OpenSim?
(I'm always looking for business use case studies to profile!)

It is a software development company, and is not related to OpenSim – yet.
In the future, I am looking in all possibilities, and OpenSim is on my radar.
