The company was founded in March, 1999 and received seed funding from Venture Frogs, LLC in May, 1999. The company currently employs twelve people with diverse industry experience (Oracle, Microsoft, LinkExchange, Andersen, Sapient) and academic backgrounds (Penn, Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton, MIT). The Web Juice Advantage ----------------------- Web Juice takes its revenue in a mix of cash and equity. This unique payment structure benefits our clients by reducing their cash outlay while aligning our interests with theirs. At the same time, our employees get to participate in our clients' success. Employees have the benefit of working for a new breed of consulting company that will help build the next generation of internet companies. A typical client engagement lasts 3-6 months, which gives our engineers the opportunity to work with a range of clients and technologies. Key Differentiators ------------------- Unlike other consulting firms, we have focused exclusively on startups from our inception. This focus lets us tailor our services to maximize our value to startups. With our seasoned experience building scalable internet architectures, we give our clients a major time-to-market advantage, one that is critical in today's competitive climate. Often, our clients come to us with only a business plan and depend on our expertise and creativity to turn their idea into reality. We design and build their entire technical infrastructure, architecting their systems and choosing the right tools and platforms. One of our strongest values is our determination to build things right the first time. In addition to these engineering responsibilities, we also help our clients lay the foundation for their own internal engineering by advising their hiring and setting up their development processes. Web Juice Client Companies -------------------------- EXP.com (formerly known as Advoco.com) was retained in April of 1999. Web Juice designed and built most of the startup's technology in a two-phase project that ended mid-September. In a highly competitive space, Web Juice carried EXP.com to market ahead of the competition while training its engineering force. In the course of the project, EXP.com grew from four to sixty people and raised funding from prominent investors including CMGI, Bessemer, Bowman Capital, Draper Richards, Oracle, and Venture Frogs. Web Juice's other clients include Topica, SayIt!, and BBQ.com. The investors behind these startups include SoftBank Holdings, August Capital, and Highland Capital Partners. Entrepreneurs and venture capitalists alike have responded enthusiastically to Web Juice's services. We help our clients do more, better, and faster than they could on their own.
