A Final Prospress Post…
Prospress has some rather big news to share in this post!
We have been acquired by Automattic – the incredible company that brought us both WordPress.com and acquired WooCommerce itself via the WooThemes acquisition in 2015.
Five for the Future of WooCommerce
I’m excited to announce that Prospress is formalising its contribution to WooCommerce. We are dedicating a new member of our team to contribute full-time to WooCommerce core development.
In this post, I share the backstory on this decision, and how we plan to make the new role work. I hope it can be instructive for other companies considering such a position.
AutomateWoo joins Prospress to Further eCommerce Automation on WooCommerce
Prospress has acquired AutomateWoo and associated products. Dan, the founder, is also joining Prospress full-time to lead development and direction of the products. AutomateWoo provides eCommerce automation to thousands of WooCommerce stores. Its functionality can automate marketing, fulfilment, and many other everyday tasks required to grow an eCommerce business.
The Future of Prospress: Our 3 Year Goal
This is a transcript of a talk I gave at the Prospress meetup in December 2016. I’m publishing it here to share some of the philosophy of our company, and plans for our future. If you like what you read, we’re hiring and would love to chat with you about working together.
A Prosperous Endeavour
Is your dream to quit your job, start a business and be your own boss?
That was my dream too. It’s been an amazing journey from very humble beginnings—brainstorming business ideas while renting a loungeroom in a share house—to launching Prospress today.
But in reality, the journey has only just begun.
