About us
Rendered Text is a software company making Semaphore, a continuous delivery service at the forefront of an ongoing evolution in software development practice. We optimize what we do for happiness of our users and ourselves.
A bootstrapped, distributed product company
Our story began in 2009 when Marko Anastasov and Darko Fabijan, two friends from university, set up the company while working at the same time on a social web startup and for clients. From the beginning we were passionate about both making software and the effects great products have on people. We have combined those in creating Semaphore, which we launched in 2012, and transitioned to become a product company. Now that we are responsible for a service used in over 100 countries, and working as a distributed team from multiple countries, we feel like we're only getting started.
Doing the right thing
Over the years we have grown in all aspects — and continue to every day — but our goals have remained the same. Have fun while working with the best technology at hand. Design and create the finest product we can. Compete with the top in the industry. Learn from the best. Focus on the essential. Cultivate openness and respect in all communication. Be friends with one another. Learn constantly. Share what we know.
