Monday Startup: Subscribe-HR
Every Monday we’ll profile an Australian startup from the technology, telecommunications or video gaming sector. Drop us a line if you would like to have your company profiled.
When Subscribe-HR founders Mathew French and Alex Agafonov first got their Sydney-based company off the ground back in 2007, they used to meet at cafe chain Gloria Jeans, resulting in the development effort — appropriately enough — being code-named “Coffee Bean”.
Today, Subscribe-HR has six staff, its own offices, a growing customer base and has recently closed a $500,000 angel funding round. But the “Coffee Bean” tradition persists. The company’s staff still refer to any new development project as “Coffee Bean Development”, which French says internally signifies the importance of the effort, and also as a reminder of the company’s roots.
