The Globe and Mail features FreshBooks
Today, The Globe and Mail – Cananda’s largest National Newspaper – did a feature on FreshBooks, profiling us as “The Next Big Thing“. That seems like a rather bold statement to every nerve in our (mostly) Canadian bodies, but we’ll take it!
The article tells the story of our metamorphasis from a company who thought it had to pretend it was bigger than it was (we were working in my parents basement at the time!), to a company that is comfortable in it’s own skin. There is also a video where I share some of our story and our approach to the market – check out the video.
Thanks to Diane Jermyn and Rosa Park who were great to work with and did a very nice job with the piece. Thanks also to the editors at The Globe for profiling an emerging Canadian company. Start ups need help getting their stories out there, and it’s great to see Canadian media covering a company emerging North of the 49th.

Great story Mike (and all involved there!).
As you say, it’s rare to see larger media attention of some of the great innovations that happen in the city. We see some awesome stuff at Democamp and other events, but that’s where to find out about it. One would discover it through the traditional papers, who spend their tech reporting time covering Bell, Rogers, and RIM.

Congratulations to the Freshbooks team! Great to have ‘local’ placement from the Canadian national newspaper.

I will have to say that our SMB’ers out in San Francisco, who are working with us in our BETA testing of your product and capabilities have nothing but the best things to say!
We run on Salesforce and I am starting to walk thru 1-2 clients a week we support on our platform in BETA as well showing them your ease of use.
Congrats!
