>> I left a semester early to start weebly with my cofounders.
We were seniors, first semester.
After the first semester we went to California to start this thing.
And it spurred out of a class project and the direction
that the professor gave the class was you guys need to create a web application in PHP.
And so Dave was meeting with the group and they were throwing around ideas and the idea
of having an Eportfolio creator was kind of thrown out there.
And Dave kind of jumped on that idea and really liked it.
He reached out to me and said listen, I'll build it for class and you can focus on selling it
to schools and we can you know charge $5 per student and get all these universities.
And I was like you know it sounds great.
I'm on board.
And yeah, so we kind of joined up and involved the idea into more
of a general website creation service.
And this is definitely something I was passionate about and I wanted to see this
through and I really wanted to go out and do this
but at the same time I did have a fulltime job offer from GE.
And that was an offer for me, if things were not to work out.
My cofounder, Dave, we were looking for you know a short name, dot com had to be available,
and wanted to be pronounceable and you know brandable.
So he created a kind of dot com name generator, if you will,
just a long list of things and most of it was gibberish.
But we narrowed it down to a couple of choices and weebly was one of those.
And we looked at, we thought ok, this could work, you know, it's kind of friendly sounding,
approachable and you know, it's short, it's pretty brandable and so we went with that
and made our slogan web creation made easy.
