Our dream is to work hard at ideas we love, creating value for the world, while leaving time for family and the rest of life.
We are technologists, we love great software, we dislike bad software.
We hope you love this!
We are self-funding, and will run Monkey Analytics as a profitable business so that we can sustainably continue to deliver and improve this service.
We believe strongly in our idea, technology, and customers. We don't want conflict between what is right and what investors are pushing us to do.
This means that we depend on you, our customers, to support us through subscriptions. Your support covers the direct server costs and the indirect ongoing development costs that enable this to be a fantastic product.
Team Rocket Monkeys is the development shop that founders Francesca Moyse and James Yoneda started to enable them to pursue their dream of building great software people love.
Monkey Analytics is the first business to spin out from Team Rocket Monkeys.
We believe in the profitable businesses selling products people need and love.
We believe in creating more value than we capture.
We are heavily inspired by the philosophy of 37signals. We are also inspired by their user interfaces and graphic design if it isn't obvious :-).
We believe that startups and small businesses win, especially in niche markets.
We are electrical and computer engineers who spent much of our early careers doing software development and algorithm development and testing using Matlab, PV Wave, and other computation packages.
We recognized that it was not a good use of a company's time to be managing the many servers required to run these kinds of computations, nor were the commercial tools themselves improving with the changing times.
And even in the simplest use case of a lone engineer running Matlab on their desktop, when real computation is happening you can't even use Microsoft tools or browse the web!
The launch of Amazon S3 and EC2 means that we can build and run this tool in the cloud, and deliver a better service to users than their existing experience on their desktops. We can save customers and companies money, and free their desktops for more productive work while we perform their computations in the cloud.
We hope you love this as much as we do!
