Well, the day has come, and as stated on the website, "After 17,000 orders, 30,000 bags of confetti, 3000 sticker packs, and over 25 million pictures, the Confoti team is moving on."
I have my own thoughts about this transition, and having been the inventor of the confetti product and one of the founders of the company, I think i have a unique perspective.
I will most likely take the time to put these thoughts in writing, and when I do, i'll certainly post them here. But for now, as was the case in 2003 when I had to part ways with the company I helped create and launch, I have a family and a full time job to tend to, both of which need my current and full attention. I'll try and update this in some spare cycles in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, looking back, with regrets on some choices and extreme pride in others, to simply know that so many people have had an opportunity to use this idea to reflect on their loved ones, to express joy and appreciation, and to make a celebration all the more unique, gives me a strong sense of satisfaction. If i achieve no other milestone in my life, having been responsible for that alone will be one of my crowning achievements.
