In 1994, CEO/programmer Paul Stannard founded SmartDraw.com to
sell his new diagramming software over the Internet. He received
his first order less than 12 hours after opening for business.
On the strength of the product, with no investors, no debt, and
no outside funding, the company grew rapidly to become the
Internet's #1 source of business diagramming software. In 2004,
SmartDraw.com launched FotoFinish, complementing the original
SmartDraw product. The company continues to explore new ways to
provide innovative software over the Internet for users in all corners
of the globe.
