Yesterday, I brought information on the founders being
interviewed in a Swedish newspaper. Today, with the
help of Tolken99, a Swedish English translation
software, I bring the interview in English
(translation software being what it is).

Young gains over IT-jättar
jättar = giants
Of Inger Sundelin
ESKILSTUNA. For a good half of it two year then
decided himself Magnus Stenman and Chap Avedal in
Chap = Karl, karl however is translated to man, or chap.
order to start a own programutvecklingsföretag.
program... = softwaredevelopment company
The first ordern took the in våras and today have the
våras = this spring
customers all over the world. Unlike many other
it-företagare is it not miljonerna that entices most -
företagare = businessmen
without that get be with that actuate front a
programutveckling with open standards there also the
big mjukvaruföretagen tvingas cooperate.
mjukvaru = software
företagen = companies
We hits Magnus Stenman and Chap Avedal over a cup
coffee in the kitchen at home at Magnus in Eskilstuna
there he live along with flickvännen Elin Bjällhage,
flickvännen = the girlfriend
that also is part-owner in the company and ansvarar
ansvarar = is responsible for
for ekonomin. Something office have the not without
all sköts from home.
sköts = is done from
24-årige Chap, that last the datavetenskapliga the
årige = year old
datavetenskapliga = computer science ed
education in Linköping, and 22-årige Magnus, that is
entirely self taught, träffades by a diskussionsgrupp
träffades = met
on The internet for programmer. Magnus had begun
develop a webserver entirely in Java - a gathering
grundverktyg that programmer use in order to build
grundverktyg = unified platform?
e-handelsplatser and other advanced webblösningar -
e-handel = e-trade
webblösningar = web solutions
and bid in Chap that be with.
After uppskattningsvis 14.000 hours of
uppskattningsvis = approx.
programmeringsslit could the in våras teckna the first
programmeringsslit = programming effort
ordern and now have the a 60-tal customers. Dutch
tal = number ( meaning 60-70 customers )
tevebolaget VPRO, the australiensiska sajten The
tevebolaget = television company
internet.com, dryckestillverkaren Rode Bull and
dryckestillverkaren = beverage manufactor
norwegian Telenors Wap-tjänst in order to just take
tjänst - service
some example.
And it without that the really satsat a sole crown on
satsat = bet ( or used )
marketing. Kunderna have actua sought up them.
Kunderna = the customers
- This is a thin market and all know to which that
exists there, says Chap. Furthermore lies all program
out on The internet as that being customers can
testköra them before the decides himself.
testköra = testrun
But how dares kunderna chose a small unknown
tvåpersonersbolag in front of multinationella company
tvåpersonserbolag = two people business...?
that IBM or Oracle with loads of personnel?
- It's too really none that know that there just is we
two that stands behind Orionservern, says Magnus.
Furthermore builds our program on the same standard
that all other Javaapplikationsservrar as would the
become dissatisfied can the simple swap to a other
program.
Chap supplements:
- In the first hand receives we customers on ours
technical merits, but we gains also sympati in order
to we is small and holds flame prices, says Chap. We
takes 1.500 dollars per license while BEA that is
marknadsledande with her program Weblogic takes about
30.000 dollars per license.
But why as a little? You would why be able to take ten
times so much paid and yet be half as expensive that
yours störste competitor.
störste = largest
- We think not that there shall cost more than as,
says Magnus and Chap with a mouth. It's some of our
philosophy that all shall have ability to use the
program, not just the with very money. We want to do
programvarumarknaden public for all and force the big
programvarumarknaden = software market
companies that follow after.
Now can the at last begin take out wages for her work
and next step becomes that employ a or two duktiga
duktiga = good
programmer. Then must the obtain a truly office - and
on sikt maybe also a vd. All this want to Chap and
sikt = sight, but more correct here later
Magnus pay with own average. Some money utifrån is the
utifrån = outside, from others
not intresserade of, all the same not in nuläget.
intresserade = interested (in)
nuläget = as of now
- We has got several offerings if riskkapital but we
riskkapital = joint venture ?
have pervading thanked no, says Chap. With outsider
finansiärer would it ställas more requirements on us
finansiär = finanser ( the one who pays)
and then became it less focus on the product.
Equally decidedly have the thanked no to propåer if
propåer = propositions?
uppköp and employment.
uppköp = being bought
- We want to satsa on this and do it on our ways. The
satsa = bet
friheten can we not have if somebody else owns us or
friheten = liberty
that employees, says Magnus. Would it not go as know
we that we can get a new job in morning day.
