It all started at Hunan Taste in Denville, NJ on April 13th, 1999. Each partner brought to that Chinese restaurant their talent, ambition, and determination to make the dream of being an entrepreneur and part of a startup a reality. Thingee was launched!
Our initial focus was in developing a web service. The first client came to us via a conversation overheard in the checkout line at a CompUSA store. The first project was a CD-ROM business card. Other projects followed, and there was enough work to warrant obtaining dedicated office space.
By the end of 2002, Thingee’s revenue grew enough to support 4 people full time, and within the next year the remaining partners left their jobs to turn Thingee into a fully staffed operation. As our team grew, so did our success, and then in 2004 designing the current studios in Parsippany.
Thingee’s financial success and extensive Web development experience enabled its programmers to refocus their efforts on building Web-based software applications again. The company currently runs its financial and project management operations on its unique, proprietary software, which has generated interest for a future product release. In late 2007 Thingee launched is first web 2.0 application Linkee, a simple set of tools for social sharing, tracking, and link shortening.
With personalities that defy complacency, the Thingee team is busy mastering the next wave of technologies the public is just hearing about, leveraging the proliferation of mobile devices; as well as capitalizing on the demand for high definition content and the popularity of social media/social networking.
Stay tuned. Our newest Thingee may be just the Next Big Thingee you want!
