Here's a complete history of what happened at Treehouse. 2010: Think Vitamin Membership Launched Treehouse was originally named "Think Vitamin Membership" Founded in the UK by Ryan Carson and Gillian Carson Think Vitamin Membership offered online training videos to learn web design and web development Ruby on Rails app was…
Introducing Article Writer
I wrote a Python script that creates a high quality blog post and gorgeous image for only $0.12 per article. A Little Story for You ... Like all startup founders, I'm working on generating organic traffic for Maple so I can reduce my ad budget and drop my CAC.

From now on no one would tell anyone what to do, not…

Selling your company doesn’t make you happy
I started my first company eight years ago in 2004 and I’ve been through two acquisitions. The first company I sold was DropSend in 2008 and the second was Carsonified in 2011. Like most entreprenuers, I believed I needed to sell a company for a pile of cash in order to be successful. I’m not sure why I felt like this. I believe it was related to reading about acquisitions in the news and…
Ryan Carson, Treehouse and the 4-day Week
I think there’s something messed up about the startup culture in the USA. The belief is that you have to work 6-7 days a week and spend all your mental cycles on your company. Nothing but pledging your soul to your startup yields success, right? Not in my experience. We work a 4-day week at Treehouse and here’s what we’ve been fortunate to achieve: Profitability (yay!) $3,000,000+ yearly revenue…
