Narrative
"We must not say every mistake is a foolish one." — Cicero
Everything began with a dream to accomplish something different. Having experienced the entrepreneurial drive whilst living abroad, particularly in the United States, we were inspired to create something unique.
Our expertise is our profession; Paul, a Java Developer, Mark, a PHP/ Frontend Developer and Karl, an Auditor.
The crux of our idea rested on how such a diverse skill set could be harnessed and have it collectively produce something of value in Malta. After some time assessing how to incorporate everyone’s skills, it came out clear that our true value rested in our diverse skills. We also realized that the market was in dire need of a lean and dynamic group of individuals who could efficiently handle all basic business needs; from software to auditing.
With this idea, a nameless company was born. Finding a suitable name was much more difficult than discovering the concept itself. But a meaningful, yet concise, name had to be found. Without any doubt, the availability of the domain was a vital requirement for the creation of the company name.
After long deliberations, and around ten coffees later, Karl came up with the name Threls. At first, we did not understand what this meant, so Karl explained that every co-founder’s name ended with the letter ‘L’. We were so invested in finding a proper name for this idea, that none of us realized the obvious mistake in Karl’s reasoning.
It was after all the arrangements were done that we realized our honest mistake and following a genuine laugh, we decided that Threls should remain the company name.
Following this, Threls was born.
Life at threls.
