I interviewed at SeatGeek five years ago when they were a very small team. I was super intimidated at my first "startup" interview. No need to be; Jack and Russ were some of the nicest guys and interviewers. I remember after the interview they spent a bunch of time talking about the ways they had scripted Adobe Illustrator (I believe) to make the then very awesome, but now quite rudimentary, seat maps.
Really thought they had a great product on their hands and have used it quite a bit. They've done great work building both a great product as well as an engineering and product driven company.

- conradev 11y agoI remember getting an email from Jack a few years ago asking if I wanted to help them build their iOS app. They knew exactly what they wanted and where they needed expertise, which is the right way to approach contract work. I wasn't surprised when their app turned out to be very well done :)
