One of my favourite start-ups in Ottawa and a company I have been following for the past two or more years is thinkRF. Lead by the dynamic duo of co-founders Nikhil Adnani and Tim Hember thinkRF continues to be a start-up to watch. Originally highlighted on Blogmatic “start-ups to watch 2007” thinkRF is a going concern that is gathering speed.

Like any good start-up thinkRF is building for the future, lean and mean. In fact to keep costs under control they enlisted the help of Nikhil’s young son to develop the logo to the left. Not sure if they will use it going forward, however, it hangs proudly in their home based HQ.

Friday November 28th is a monumental day for this young Ottawa Company and one where they acquired their first paying customer. Details of the customer and value are undisclosed, however, winning that first signed PO is a big step for any start-up.

I was a little late getting to the celebrations last night, however, did have the opportunity to sip some champagne (according to Yves the good stuff) with; Nikhil, Gilbert (rabble rouser), Yves and Allison. Good fun.

Congratulations to Nikhil, Tim, Quyen, Jean, Yves, Gilbert, Allison and the strong supporting cast that they have assembled.
