I wanted to share my email to the 1ME India team, truly grateful to work with these people!
To my first 1ME Team,
WOW. I cannot believe it has already been a year here in India and 2 years working together on this start-up. Originally, it was just for MeSocial but you have helped me build 1ME and develop MeToo Studios. I have been told that we moved at a fast pace and I can truly say, yes we did! You should be proud at the work you have accomplished in an environment that was quite hectic.
Long days, sleepless nights, and working non-stop every day for weeks at a time, I have pushed you guys to the limits. The best part is that these limits were pushed further and further and it shows me what you are capable of doing and then some. Was it worth it? You decide but I would definitely say yes! It has been great watching you all learn, grow, and develop as I have done the same. The team I knew years ago, just requested for requirements and then coded. The team I know now, questions, advises, and provides feedback on how to make the product better. You have gone from being a "developer" to an "engineer" where you now put thought and creativity into what you do. What an awesome thing to witness and I hope you see it as well.
Even though we are not able to continue together, I hope you remember the goals you have set for yourself on the back of the 1ME sign. I ask that you continue to meet with each other, share ideas, and develop together. We share this common bond which I will always cherish because it is a start to something great! Remember 2 things. First, success is not about being the best, it is about seeing what the person next to you is doing and doing it better. Second, there is always a solution to a problem.
On behalf of the 1ME team, directors, and investors, thank you for all you have done for my company. I am blessed to call you my colleague, friend, and family member. I look forward to the next steps and what the future holds for you all. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need someone to bounce ideas off from, I am here for you. It is not a goodbye but till we meet again. Many more successes awaits!
Sincerely,
Thomas
