Slicehost: How A Goal-Setting Bootstrapper Launch & Sold His Business

I'm a happy Slicehost user for many years now (my site runs on it) - I love the product Matt has created

I was a customer of Slicehost from day 1, literally. I told everybody about them because Matt and Jason (the co-founders) were the most awesome company founders I had ever dealt with. They were beyond helpful and always went out of their way to please their users. The good things that happened to them are fully deserved.<p>Thank you and best of luck with your new project, Matt!

I didn't know Slicehost was bootstrapped or even that it sold to Rackspace! Definitely going to watch this one.

I well remember being an employee at a hosting company in summer 2006 and pleading with my boss to get into Ruby hosting. We were early experimenters with xen at the time. He just didn't see Ruby ever amounting to anything for his enterprise clients.

Spending a Saturday listening to Mixergy while working on a startup. Great weekend :)

Great interview.
