NWRUG in two weeks — Millions on Rails

[North West Ruby User Group (NWRUG)]

Hi folks,

Our next NWRUG is in two weeks on 16 October back at Colony, One Silk Street, Ryan Townsend will be sharing stories about how he started, scaled, and liquidated a Rails-based startup that at its peak reached £5M ARR

Ryan has been building with Rails since before Git existed—originally checking the framework out of SVN back in 2005. After overcoming organisational resistance on adopting Rails, he built and scaled his previous business to calmly handle hundreds of millions in yearly revenue through successive Black Fridays. He’ll run us through his successes and failures before taking a brief look at why he feels Rails is poised for success in the future.

We’ll be at the venue from 6:30pm with the talk starting at 7pm. Afterwards we’ll retire to a nearby establishment for a drink and some pizza, kindly provided by our sponsors Fatsoma and thoughtbot.

Register here if you would like to attend. Full details on this (and all our events) over on our website.

See you soon!

Rob and Tekin
