“Every time we hired a worker our sales went up,” Mr. Shachar said in an interview with Calcalist conducted at a three-day conference held last week in Palm Desert, California by Intel's venture arm Intel Capital. Developers “pay for themselves” in just two months, as each new feature attracts new clients, he added.
