Our journey, year by year.
No pivots, no reinventions, no starting over. The same shop, compounding for three decades in the same corner of Indiana.
Counterpart begins
Three engineers out of AT&T Bell Labs found WDD Software on a simple belief: technology should solve real business problems. The first client was Bell Labs itself.
The long careers start
Matt, Tyler, and Jason are hired straight out of college. All three still work here, and always have.
A new generation of leadership
Jason, Matt, and Tyler become owners, and Drew joins the leadership team to guide the transition. The next chapter starts from the inside.
Growing beyond a small team
As WDD keeps expanding, the team reaches ten people, an early milestone in the steady growth and stability that still define the company.
Culture becomes the advantage
The company rethinks what work can look like: unlimited PTO, flexible schedules, and accountability to results instead of hours.
The first Donut Run
A Valentine’s Day idea becomes a tradition: dozens of donuts delivered to local organizations, and a community habit that continues today.
WDD becomes Counterpart
The new name is the promise: the long-term software counterpart to the organizations we serve.
Growing again
The team doubles in size over just a few years while keeping the culture and the client relationships intact.
Three decades of partnership
120+ custom systems, top-ten clients who’ve stayed an average of nine years, and new faces learning from people who never left.
