The First Co-founder Meeting, and a Team Trip to Charlotte, Boston and New York

Ryan James and Gautam Khorana meet in person for the first time in Charlotte, then work their way through Boston and New York with Seahawk’s first sales rep, Ryan Blair.

In June 2019, a few months after Seahawk Global was formed, Ryan James and Gautam Khorana met in person for the first time.

Charlotte

They met in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ryan flew down from Boston so that Ryan Blair, Seahawk’s first sales rep, could be there too, and picked Gautam up at the airport.

A WeWork in every city

The three worked their way north, setting up at a WeWork in each city: WeWork Uptown Charlotte, then WeWork Boston Seaport and WeWork Back Bay in Boston, then WeWork in New York.

The trip ended at the Blue Note, New York’s jazz club, for a Terrace Martin concert. It was a fitting night out for a WordPress company: every major WordPress release is named after a jazz musician.
