Strongcode.com was founded in September 1998 by Michael Schwartz.

It was initially set up as a place to put his home page and resume, while looking for contract work. Since then, it has grown into a huge multinational conglomerate with a total of ZERO employees, clients in the Fortune 500 (Cisco), academic (UC Berkeley), federal government (USGS) areas, among others. It was profitable in it's first year, in fact, it was never in debt as there were no investors to speak of. See the "Past Work" section for more details on StrongCode's accomplishments.
