    Today cleverbridge is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its very first customer transaction.

    It was on this day exactly 15 years ago, November 11, 2005, that a customer purchased a product from our first client, Ashampoo, on the cleverbridge platform. (P.S. Ashampoo is still a client.)

    It’s been an exciting journey. We have experienced incredible growth thanks to the wonderful people we get to call our cleverbridge family. Clients, colleagues, partners and friends – thank you for being the secret to our success.  Let’s celebrate this momentous occasion – and get excited about the future!

    Check out these blog posts by our CEO Craig Vodnik and CTO Martin Trzaskalik. They tell the story from their unique perspectives as founders.
