Officially, 42Fish was founded on April 1, 2004.

In hindsight, April Fool's Day might not have been the smartest day
to start a business, but we figure the joke is on all those guys who
said we wouldn't make it.

That answers the question of when 42Fish was started. But why was
42Fish started?

Well, the founders (Brad and Jed) had a mutual friend who suggested
Brad and Jed might be able to help each other out.

At the time, both of them were running independent one-man shops.
Brad was handling all the writing at his place and farming out the
design work. Jed was taking care of most of the design at his place,
but needed someone to help with the writing.

So, they met for bagels one morning, Brad introduced Jed to jalapeno
cream cheese, and the rest is happening right now.
