Mozdev Group Inc. (MDG) is a Mozilla Software Development Company founded by Pete Collins on January 24th 2003. Since it's inception, the company has been experiencing slow and steady growth for the first 11 months in business. Today the company has three full time and three part time developers. The company was started with no cash and is built upon revenues contracted for Mozilla software development services.

The formation of the company was a logical step to provide a commercial arm to Mozdev.org (the popular open source project hosting site dedicated to the adoption of Mozilla technologies). Mozdev.org was founded by David Boswell and Pete Collins in September 2000.

MDG has established a growing client base servicing all aspects of Mozilla software development such as custom browser and application distributions, cross platform plug-ins, core development and user interface work.

The long term mission of MDG is simply an extension of the Mozdev mission. To help establish Mozilla as an application development platform. The company goals for the first couple of years is to establish a strong revenue base that will fund the MDG team to develop professional open source tools and libraries that will make it easier to use and choose Mozilla to build rich cross platform applications.

Mozilla is starting to become recognized by companies all over the world as a viable software solution. Open markup based web technologies are offering powerful alternative solutions to companies that were not possible before. MDG is committed to and excited about the future development of these technologies and the evolution of the Mozilla application development space.
