Merge

In the eight years Merge's existence, I've noted distinct stages of our business. Each stage, or chapter, brings forth a new set of challenges, opportunities, frustrations and joy. In essence, growing a business is like life.

No. It is life.

Life is sloppy, imperfect, wonderful and exhilarating all at the same time. The movie Parenthood illustrates this so well:

[Gil has been complaining about his complicated life;
Grandma wanders into the room]

Grandma:
You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster.

Gil:
Oh?

Grandma:
Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!

Gil:
What a great story.

Grandma:
I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me
that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited,
and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the
merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller
coaster. You get more out of it.

Merge was fortunate to share the beginning of one of our new chapters last night with about 100 friends. We had a blast. And with great anticipation, we look forward to being the co-author of this next chapter with all of our great friends. Thanks for living it with us.

By the way, our new chapter is called: "A New Way to Web." If you'd like a sneak peek to what this chapter is going to be about, join us on April 21st at noon for our webinar.
