We were featured in 37signals' Bootstrapped, Profitable, & Proud series this week. Here is a piece of the story...
This is part of our series “Bootstrapped, Profitable, & Proud” which profiles companies that 1) have $1MM+ in revenues, 2) didn’t take VC, and 3) are profitable.
Q&A with Andy Wilson of Logik
What does your business do?
Logik helps companies find, organize, process, and make searchable terabytes of digital documents for legal discovery. I always say we sell digital aspirin to attorneys experiencing discovery migraines.Read more
Say hello to Mike Giroux, our new VP of Sales. Mike comes to us from Autonomy, one of the world’s largest eDiscovery companies, where he was a Sales Director. How Mike came to Autonomy is quite an interesting story of acquisitions. First, in July of 2008 Interwoven acquired Discovery Mining for $36 million. Mike was one of the earliest employees at Discovery Mining and helped build revenue from a few million to over fifteen million during his time.
Second, not long after Mike was getting situated at Interwoven, Autonomy came along in January of 2009 and scooped up Interwoven for a cool $775 million. So, in the span of less than one year Mike worked for three different eDiscovery companies. All of them through acquisition...Read more

This interview is part of the Posse List's series “Data! Data! Data!” — Cures for a General Counsel’s ESI Nightmares”. For an introduction to the series check out the Posse List's website at http://www.theposselist.com.
Logik was humbled to be the first company interviewed. Below is a copy of that interview:
Logik is one of the more extraordinary companies to come onto the e-discovery scene. A dynamic company, they derive their name “the formal systematic study of the principles of valid inference and correct reasoning, and; the interrelation or sequence of facts or events when seen as inevitable or predictable.” Or, as in today’s parlance: they’re a lean, mean e-discovery processing machine”...Read more
Just in time for the upcoming holidays, Logik, a Washington, DC-based eDiscovery company, is proud to announce the launch of the world's first and only eDiscovery apparel and merchandise website at http://www.eDDstuff.com.

We are very excited to announce some big news at Logik. Our processing power (all of our servers and your data) are now within our new data-center at Equinix. If you drove through Chinatown on your way to work over the past few months you may have noticed some street construction between 7th and 9th streets. Sorry, that was us. We were installing a secure high-speed fiber line into our Equinix data-center.
Who's Equinix you ask? The world’s leading global data center and interconnection provider (Nasdaq: EQIX). Netflix, DoubleClick, Amazon, Google, and Adobe use Equinix to house their servers, and now Logik does too.Read more
We are excited to announce that, as of today, Logik has qualified to be a High Technology Company in the District of Columbia. Ok, so what does that mean?
It means Logik no longer applies SALES TAX (now at 6% by the way) to any of our invoices. Yes, this is NOT an April Fools joke and is totally legal and legit. It's kind of like a big 6% discount across the board for all of our valued clients (and future clients-wink). This results in HUGE savings for many of our clients as sales tax can really add up, especially for larger projects. Last year alone we tacked on $200,000 in sales tax.Read more
Logik Gets New Digs Posted By Andy Wilson on September 4, 2009
Logik is moving downtown this month! We will miss our Dupont office, especially since it was our first office and we put so much work into it. But, every growing company has to move on and seek new office space to accommodate that growth. When we first set out to find our new home we knew we wanted something different. Just as we did with our Dupont location, we also needed it to be bigger and definitely have more than one bathroom.Read more
Out of the 500 companies on this years list, Logik is the top eDiscovery company. Wow! We're thrilled and humbled.
The Inc. 500 is a list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. This award places Logik in company with past honorees such as Microsoft, Timberland, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle, and Under Armour. We can only hope to reach the same success these companies have achieved.
We couldn't have done this without the support of our family, friends, partners, vendors, and our ahhh-mazing clients. Thank you so much to everyone that has supported us over the years. We greatly appreciate it.Read more
Not the Star Trek kind of Trekky, well, maybe considering the high likelihood most participants (all tech companies) have seen all 7 movies. No offense, live long and prosper TREC participants. This TREC is more about going where no text retrieval algorithm has gone before, and less about finding new planets, although you could make an argument for it...but I digress. TREC stands for the "Text REtrieval Conference" and is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and U.S. Department of Defense. We are very proud to be a participant in their 2009 TREC study. So, what does that mean exactly?
TREC gave us a set of very LARGE data, The Enron emails, a subpoena, and said figure it out. Easy enough right? Maybe for The Enterprise crew this is easy, but for most eDiscovery companies, including us, this is a major challenge and one that has significant meaning. Our job will be to use what we know about search within discovery and find all the relevant emails and attachments that relate to the subpoena. This requires more than just your standard set of boolean keyword searches. We will need to use more powerful text retrieval algorithms to find the needles in the haystack.
None of the participants are allowed to post their results, even if they find every single document relevant to the subpoena. Although it's probably every marketers dream to post the results (assuming they are good), TREC is smart to not allow it. Each participant is required to publish their results, the tools they used, etc. to TREC by September 7th, 2009. So, the clock is ticking. Hopefully, more advanced and accurate methods for text retrieval will come out of this process. If only the good people at NIST offered up a Netflix-like $1m prize (http://logiik.com/L)...sigh. Wish us luck.Read more
After six months of development, we are finally launching our new site, which you happen to be on now. Mind blowing, I know. Here is the formal press release we issued about the site:

WASHINGTON DC, July 28, 2009 -- A new online destination has arrived for those seeking to learn more about Logik and related eDiscovery information with the redesigned Logik.com website. As an eDiscovery processing company, Logik.com's goal is simple: get straight to the point on what they do, how they do it and why their clients love to work with them. Sounds like a pretty simple concept, but it's one that Logik worked hard to implement and get right.

The site is designed with customers (past, present and future), the media and job-seekers in mind -- it's graphically appealing and easy-to-navigate. Logik.com features eDiscovery veteran written (and regularly updated) blog posts, instructional "how-to" and best-practice videos, insightful articles on the industry, technology and key motivators, and eye-candy to please all visitors.
