Schipul

edit

Schipul - The Web Marketing Company is a Houston-based web marketing and software company. Founded in 1997 through a friends and family round of financing. Later incorporated as a Texas C-Corp and remains privately held with four partners.

Schipul released the Tendenci SAAS (www.tendenci.com) version 1 in 2001 on the Microsoft platform. Over 400 web sites are powered by the Tendenci software as of 1/2011.

In a move to open source, Tendenci version 5 was rewritten starting in 2009 using Django/Python/MySql/Apache on Amazon web services (AWS). The first T5 migration sites from T4 went live in 2011 with plans to migrate all existing sites at a lower cost.

Schipul has 30+ employees as of January, 2012 and has offices in Houston Texas and Sunnyvale California. Schipul grew 20% in revenue from 2010 to 2011 and is both profitable and cash flow positive.
