Acquia
Acquia is the Open Source company I co-founded in 2007. We provide solutions to build, operate and optimize Drupal-powered digital experiences. With over a 1,200 employees, Acquia is now one of the largest Open Source companies in the world. The posts on this page could provide insights in how to create an Open Source business. If you want to learn about Acquia's history, I recommend reading my annual Acquia retrospectives.
