Yakabod

Had a nice visit today from Frederick County OED.

The tech industry in Frederick County is booming and successful companies like Yakabod help to make it one of our key industries year after year. Our area has no shortage of tech talent, which is why Yakabod is recognizing their strong team.

At Yakabod, we're nurturing a culture where every role has nobility and everyone knows they matter. We're not here simply to do a job, we're pursuing a calling and doing our best to positively impact our community. https://hubs.ly/H0kLp9p0

Do Stuff That Matters™ is a mission for our employees, it’s the way our software empowers our customers, and it’s the way we serve our community. https://hubs.ly/H0kLmg-0

Our team is many people with many different personalities, but we're all drawn to being part of something bigger and pursuing it in a certain way.

We all have an entrepreneurial bent.
We're passionate.
We're fine with working hard.
We've purposed to "Do Stuff That Matters."

In early 2005, we moved to beautiful historic downtown Frederick. Offering none of the ambience of Steve Jobs’ garage, the team worked on folding tables in an apartment across the street to facilitate daily inspections during the lengthy construction.

In late 2005, we successfully shifted to agile software development -- then an emerging practice. https://hubs.ly/H0jXvpv0

It took us quite a few years, but we finally dialed in a tagline that captures our spirit in several dimensions:

- it's our mission for our employees
- it’s the way our software empowers our customers
- it’s the way we serve our community

Do Stuff That Matters. https://hubs.ly/H0jXsc_0
