Once upon a time…
It was another dreary day at the office. Memos. Stale coffee. PC Load letter. Could it get any worse? It did. Corporate software promised to make our lives easier and propel our small business into the next millennium. Yet, it was complex, slow, and didn’t fit into our workflow. The founders of Sproutit.com, Charles Jolley, Chris Bauman and Peter Gohman, knew there was a better way to do small business.
Big business software has been able to do great things, but it is large, not designed for small business use, and it is extremely expensive. After graduating from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, the three sojourners teamed up to create Sproutit.com. There are 20 million businesses with 10 or fewer employees in the United States alone. Our drive is to build a suite of web hosted business applications uniquely designed for these very small businesses.
Bringing the power of big enterprise business software to small businesses.
