Thank You for 24 Years – NetSlave!
Jan Bischoff, February 2, 2024
I could write that we do Hyper-Scalability, AI-Driven, Cloud Performance optimized Publisher Relationship Affiliate Voodoo Motivation Software. But honestly...
We are still the keyboard jockeys we were back in 1991.
Back then, the internet was still Packet Radio over radio frequencies. Later, around 1997, Linux administration and search engine optimization were our craft. And in 2000, NetSlave started building a genuinely good alternative to affiliate networks. That is where we stayed.
Solid technology, an interface you can use without extensive explanation. Yes, also stable tracking with EU data protection, enterprise-grade commission accounting, and, very old-school: our own proper hardware in a Berlin data center.
It is remarkable that clients from those early days are still with us. They have grown enormously, continuing to trust us with their affiliate marketing and their billion-euro revenues, and we still manage to impress them with our service mentality.
It is a genuine privilege to have gathered over 27 years of experience on every side of this industry, to still know all the other veterans out there (greetings!), and to have done it all in the same company with the same software. That is enough to make you a little sentimental and humble.
If you are thinking I am saying goodbye: no.
The path from specialist to entrepreneur was not mine. I remain a programmer and system administrator, and I love customer support.
I just want to say thank you.
To all (former) NetSlaves, employees, freelancers, clients, business partners, suppliers, and everyone else who has accompanied me on this journey.
