A year ago this month the Articles of Incorporation were filed for an entity called Beene+Gambill, LLC. The idea that just wouldn’t die was born on a car ride to a funeral, and like the Little Engine That Could it kept on chugging, picked up steam in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and finally today the app we call Nudge will meet it’s first beta customers. If one thing is for certain, it’s that our team’s got a whole lotta pluck.

But we’ve also got a lotta friends. It’s been a hell of a ride so far, and all of us with Nudge are eternally grateful for all the support we’ve received along the way. Someone once said to us that it takes a town to raise a startup. Well, in many ways we’ve been raised by two. Needless to say, we have a lot of thank you letters to write. So from all the Co-founders [Phil Beene, Mac Gambill, and Chris Garson] to all of our advisors, testers, customers, investors, users, helpers, players and yes, even to our haters…go nudge yourselves.

[That means thank you]
