Hallands Nyheter: ”We will be the biggest in the world in our field”
Hallands Nyheter (HN), the local paper in Varberg's region: the goal is five million users in two years. LunarStorm is growing by 1,400 members a day, even before the premiere.
In two years we'll have at least five million users!
- MTG, Dobedo and Spray wanted to buy Stajl Plejs: ”But I said no, I felt more like starting something new.”
- ”Last autumn IntraSystem was reformed as LunarWorks”; Kjell Sallén from Dayco Hevas became CEO.
- 25 employees, most of them from Varberg; money from investors in Sweden, Norway, the USA and Taiwan.
- The front page: ”LunarStorm stormar fram” (LunarStorm storms ahead), with Rickard at the computer and Bjarne on the screen.
- ”We also recruited three Varberg lads, Andreas Ödman, Jonny Johansson and Jay Svensson, who were already users on Stajl Plejs.”
- The caption ”Gänget bakom LunarStorm” (The gang behind LunarStorm): Stefan Kläppe, Sarah Wahlström, Rickard, Björn Olsson, Jay Svensson, Jonny Johansson and Andreas Ödman.
