It seems like it was yesterday… It was May 20th, 1996 and I was living in La Jolla, California, about 2 hours South of Los Angeles. It was a Monday and at 1AM PST I registered the domain name www.surfernet.com, which was the beginning of it all. I was leaving behind years of research in theoretical physics and mathematics to fully dive, without any previous experience, into the surfing waters of software, technology and business.
I’d like to point out that this amazing journey started with an HTML version of my résumé. Back in 1996, armed with a primitive laptop and with a 2,400 baud modem connection, I used my résumé to illustrate prospective clients how they could create customized digital content for a new channel… the Internet. Of course, in the late 90s Surfernet also made millions of CD-ROMs (literally!) while the Internet speed was not fast enough to accommodate other marketing options. Back then, the year before I founded Surfernet, Jeff Bezos launched Amazon and the leading internet Search Engines were Altavista and Yahoo! Marc Andreessen was starting the Netscape browsing revolution as a spin-off from his Mosaic Web Browser, which is what I used to write and program, by hand, my résumé using HTML language… Most of the software technology revolution was happening in California, but Big Pharma was not there, so we had to move our focus to Europe and the US East Coast… Those initial years were challenging and very busy, with little hours of sleep, but we never lacked exciting moments!
Since that founding moment in 1996, 25 years later, Surfernet has created over 2,500 different software programs which have been used in all continents of the World (except Antarctica, of course 😉), and we are very proud to have had the opportunity to create and launch many of our innovative ideas as key marketing partners for the 50 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, as well as creating some seminal technology developments for other industries.
Looking forward to meeting everyone in person!
Muchos logros que celebrar y mucha ilusión de verlos !
We are very excited to finally be able to celebrate our 25th Anniversary 3-Day Live Event in Miami on Dec 3-5, 2021. The US-Europe border will finally open in early November, so we are re-energized again to have a great time during our historical celebrations. We look forward to seeing you all in December!
Con muchas ganas de que llegue octubre para visitar el estado del sol !
I'm testing the new Event App Surfernet created for the Anniversary celebration in Miami. I love it!
Muy orgulloso de haber aportado un granito de arena a ese proyecto tan importante y que tanto te ilusiona, gracias Javier.
Congratulations on 25 years Javier and Elia! It seems like it was only yesterday that we began our professional relationship. The many late nights working around the world turned that into a personal relationship that I truly cherish and hold dear. A wise married man once said that behind every successful man is a great woman, well at least that’s what my wife tells me. Wishing you continued success and another prosperous 25 years, Ralph & Maria
ENHORABUENA POR EL 25 ANIVERSARIO Y POR VUESTRO GRAN TRABAJO. FELICIDADES. SALUDOS DESDE FRESNEDILLAS DE LA OLIVA. ESMERALDA BASALLOTE.
Tu historia, tu perseverancia y tu visión son extraordinarias y muy motivacionales para esta generación. Felicidades a ti, a tu familia y a todo el equipo de trabajo que han hecho realidad este sueño.
well done Javier, You are truly an inspiration to young generation and example of what hard work can accomplish. Congratulations my friend!
It was around February of 2016 when I had the honor of meeting Javier for the first time. I was commissioned to be his architect for his property in South Florida. Javier had a vision and knew exactly what he wanted. He shared that vision with me and together we were able to create a fascinating and outstanding piece of architecture., an amazing structure of glass and concrete. His admiration for Modern Architecture was evident., with crisp lines and an embrace of minimalism. The design and drawings may have taken almost two years to develop, and I believe a permit was granted ending the year of 2018. Although demanding in his own right, working with Javier on this project was a rewarding experience for me. I would have aspirations that one day we may be able to collaborate once again to design and build another work of art.
Esto es la hostia. FELICIDADES y muchos éxitos más.
Enhorabuena!!!! Bien hecho!!! A por otros 25!!!!😉👏👏👏
Congratulations Javier for this new milestone of Surfernet!
I loved doing the green screen videos this week!
Una satisfacción el haber podido contribuir al éxito de este proyecto como cliente, aunque sea a pequeña escala y mucha más satisfacción en lo personal por haberos conocido y construido esta relación de amistad. Larga vida a Surfernet y que nos sigamos viendo muchísimos años más!!!!
Javier y familia, Agradezco la oportunidad de compartir con ustedes en este magno evento para celebrar las cosas increíbles que han realizado durante estos 25 años. Me inspiró mucho leer la historia de tus comienzos y donde han llegado hasta el día de hoy. Les deseo que sigan teniendo éxitos en sus soluciones de software.
Un enorme placer recordar juntos y de nuevo esos años de excelente colaboración, los tiempos que Surfernet nos enseñaba hasta lo que era internet y a partir de ahí, los proyectos con los que alcanzamos objetivos y atrapábamos clientes, mientras disfrutábamos del momento generando una muy buena amistad. Bravo por 25 jóvenes años!
Hace ya 2 años que tome la decisión de viajar hasta la sede de Miami para trabajar en la construcción de tu nueva casa, y desde el primer día sabía que a pesar de ser algo duro iba a merecer la pena. Te doy mi mas sincera enhorabuena por lo que has conseguido y te admiro por haber llegado hasta dónde has llegado. Cuenta conmigo para ambos eventos. Un abrazo. Germán Jr
¡Muchas felicidades Javier! Por estos primeros 25 años 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 En cada proyecto dejas el corazón y eso es digno de admirar. En hora buena por todo lo que has logrado.
Dicen que "todo tiempo pasado fué mejor", pero yo siempre he creido que "lo mejor esta por venir" y conociéndolo a Javier, seguro, así será.
Orgulloso de ser parte de la familia Surfernet Mexico, muchas anécdotas y aprendizaje. Abrazo Javier Federico Sunderland
Felicidades de parte de José Colón y Tatiana Rodriguez. Que los próximos 25 años sean aún más prósperos y bendecidos.
Muchas felicidades Javier y equipo! Estamos muy orgulloso de ser parte de este evento. Listo para celebrar! Con cariño de parte de Heidy & Fausto
