When was benchbucket founded?

Co-founders Michael Murray and Jeff Ferguson met in 2009 while working in the same office space in Guelph, Ontario (Canada). Jeff's good friend Pauk Karlhuber came a board September 2009 to write up a business plan and take care of marketing. Working from Michael's basement in Kitchener, Ontario, they began building the first version of benchbucket in winter 2009, and launched it at Demo Camp in Guelph, Ontario in July 2011.
