Imaginovation Completes 10 Amazing Years!

Wow! It’s been ten years and I must say that it has been an amazing ride for all of us at Imaginovation.

As our team completes ten incredible years of hard work, fun, joy, and success, I would love to walk you through this delightful journey. It’s inspiring in every possible way.

We as a company had our ups and downs, but our struggles helped us push forward and achieve some amazing feats for our clients. 

Today, when we look back and see our happy clients, we know we’ve made a positive impact in this industry.

Now is the moment to pause the time and look back at our spectacular journey at Imaginovation together.

How Did It All Start?

So it all started in 2011. Imaginovation is a 100% organically bootstrapped company that I started with my best friend and brother-in-law Pete Peranzo. 

Back then, Pete worked at SAS, and he wanted to do something bigger. I met him through one of our mutual friends, and we became great friends. I always had this dream of starting my own business, and Pete knew there was a hidden entrepreneur inside me.

What started as a humble beginning has now grown to a multi-million dollar and award-winning tech company. 

The journey began when we came together and decided to set up a full-service web and mobile app development company. When mulling over the company name, we thought of a great slogan that’s "Imagination turns innovation." 

That’s when the name "Imaginovation" came into existence.

Our north star was to help businesses achieve their true potential through innovative technology. Plus, solve their internal pain points.

10 Years of Ups, Downs, Struggles, and Success

We started from nothing. We had to make a lot of sacrifices and fight our way through some of the most challenging obstacles to see the business flourish. 

We didn’t know much about entrepreneurship when we started, but we learned things through tons of trials and errors and consistent hard work.

Imaginovation was built brick by brick through sheer hard work and dedication. From the very beginning, we as the co-founders shared our vision with the team and aimed to develop the company’s brand value and recognition.

We would reach out to hundreds of people every day through emails, and slowly with time, we started getting qualified leads that led to clients. Our team would brainstorm for hours to figure out ways to bring value to all the leads to grow their portfolio, clientele, and trust, and credibility in the over-saturated market.

There were times when we attended local events in Raleigh, Cary, Charlotte, and Durham and connected with potential leads and prospects. Soon, we had a handful of projects after the first six months.

We then decided to drastically enhance our website and start marketing it across North Carolina. Soon we could break through some of our most formidable obstacles and finally see our business flourish. 

The right team supported us for this breakthrough, which helped us create brilliant solutions and leverage them in the market. 

Here’s a peek at how the marketing team did an excellent job generating a steady flow of inbound leads. (We will read more on the team shortly.)

The turnaround is evident with new customers and developing state-of-the-art solutions for them, and not to forget adding happy clients to the list. 

The Three Ps - Passion, People, and Perseverance

What’s the secret? What makes Imaginovation outshine competitors? It’s not magic, just grounded basics. We often attribute our success to three P’s – Passion, People, and Perseverance.

Passion-fueled: For me and Pete, it starts with having the right mindset, which we believe is one of the most straightforward and precious attributes for entrepreneurs. To add to this, we have always fuelled our passion on core basics such as honesty, integrity, passion, accountability, and hard work that has helped achieve milestones after milestones.

The people in the journey: Next is our amazing people. Our team has a great blend of smart and talented developers, QAs, project managers, marketers, and salespersons that contribute to curating state-of-the-art solutions. 

What helped the team push for such incredible milestones? The one-word answer is – customers. The customers kept the team on their toes with their creative thinking hats on, which in turn helped bring out mind-blowing digital journeys to life.

Strong perseverance:  Winning isn’t a one-time journey! It needs constant efforts to stay ahead and learn new trends, understand emerging technologies, and use the latest frameworks and tools. We follow the Kaizen methodology, where we strive to make small improvements every day, fix mistakes and get better at what we do each day.

Success is no magic! It has taken a decade to discover the success factors, and our team cherishes the sustainable ecosystem based on core values. 

So, it’s pretty logical that all the digital solutions speak volumes about what we have genuinely believed in.

Lastly, It Wouldn’t Have Been Possible Without All Of You!

Imaginovation touches an important milestone of a decade of being in the industry, and it is a moment to reflect. 

A moment to realize that the journey would not have been possible without the unconditional support of all its clients, team members, supporters, and avid blog readers. 

As the team gets ready to take another leap into the future, here is a genuine expression of gratitude to all of you. 

Let’s get ready to have more fun and create remarkable digital journeys.
