A colleague and I left a large UK company and started orangejellyfish (https://orangejellyfish.com), a software consultancy with a focus on the web and JavaScript. The real push to start it came when we realised that much of what we both wanted to achieve in terms of craftsmanship, maintainable code and training in new technologies for engineering teams not yet exposed to them, was not going to be possible. We knew that many businesses do have a desire to improve those aspects of their engineering teams, and when we came to an agreement with a company that would become our first major client we decided that the time was right to both commit ourselves full-time.

We've doubled in size from our initial 2 in the last couple of months and with many more prospects on the horizon we're hoping to add a few more to that over the course of the next year!

How do you typically find your clients?

We network at meetups, conferences and other events, so through word of mouth mainly. The active engineering community in London is fantastic at helping to spread opportunities.
