About the Author

Mitch (@mitchellharper) is the co-founder and CEO of BigCommerce. Way back in 2007 he built what eventually became BigCommerce as you know it. Today he runs the company alongside Eddie and along with our 100+ team members, is passionate about helping businesses succeed with e-commerce. Mitch spends time between our Sydney and Austin offices and is giving the keynote at TechConnect 2012 in Sydney on April 19th.

We had our annual Christmas party for the Austin team Tuesday night at Eddie V’s in the Arboretum, just around the corner from our office in Austin. While a few team members were off sick or traveling, we had a great turn out with lots of conversation, laughs and great food.

In just 5 months BigCommerce has done incredibly well and we’ve built up an excellent team of sales, support and marketing professionals whose only focus is to make it as easy as possible for our clients to sell their products online.

Of course our product is important, but we wouldn’t have anything to offer without our incredible team of dedicated professionals, so a big congratulations to the entire BigCommerce team (both our sales/support team here in Austin and our engineering team in Sydney) for what they’ve accomplished in just a few short months! 2010 is going to be even more incredible.

I’ve included some photos from our Christmas party below. On behalf of everyone here at Interspire I’d like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and give you a sincere thank you for choosing BigCommerce to power your business. We’re available in the office every day over Christmas except December 25th and January 1st if you need us.
