DropShip.com
Today’s a very exciting day for me. We’ve just announced a spin-off company from Doba called DropShip.com and I’m one of the co-founders and CEO of this new wild ride. Our announcement release is here: Dropship.com Takes The Complexity and Pain Out of Drop Shipping. This is the latest step on the road I started nearly 12 years ago when I started poking around at running a ski swap online. That led to GearTrade.com which led to Doba which has now led to DropShip.com. (this recent post “10 Years” has some more history in there if you’re interested)
We’re going to take a new approach at solving the problems around

Happy Birthday Doba!
Eight years ago today, me, Brandon Williams, and Dave Gray started what would become Doba. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years! And that we (and me) are still plugging away.
Every year, in October, we celebrate our birthday with our Doba Day celebration. It’s a major part of our culture. The culture that’s helped us win Utah Business Best Companies to Work For two times and that just makes Doba an insanely awesome place to spend your time each work day.
Doba employees rule. I consider many of them to be great friends. Doba Day 2010 is in the house, and it’s crazy.

Today Doba launched our Dropshipping Blog.
It’s been a very long-time coming, and I’m excited to see Doba throw our hat into this ring. In the end, it’ll help us better engage and communicate with our community of suppliers, partners, and online sellers.
You can see some of the very smart and talented folks at Doba that will be postulating from time to time by checking out our Dobloggers.

Doba Day 2008
We have a tradition at Doba. It’s called Doba Day. Their first time we celebrated it was around St. Patrick’s Day in (probably the whole green tie-in). Then we moved it to Oct to be close to Oct 22, the day we started the company in 2002.
It’s different every year, but generally, it involves: 1 part costumes/characters, 1 part bribes/gifts/treats, 1 part performances, and 15 parts pure craziness. We give awards, and generally have an entire day where not much work gets done, but the employees of Doba have a blast. It’s way cool, and 100% worth the day and its distractions.
Last week, Doba reached its 6 year mark. And we celebrated on Friday with this year’s version

# 324
We found out last week that Doba has been included on the Inc. 500 list again this year.
We’re #324 on the list with a growth rate of almost 900% from 2004 to 2007.
Last year we were #23, and I’m way excited that after that period of truly explosive growth, we continued to grow enough for this year’s ranking.
Lots more work to do, however, so I’ll get back to it now.
