The company was started as a casual project by Matt Clegg in May
1990.
Matt took a year off from graduate school and moved to Finland
to be with his fiancée, Merja. In his spare time, he wrote
a computer program to play bridge with his friends in the United
States.
The initial version, released to the Internet as freeware in August
1990, was well-received. Matt implemented improvements to the software
based on feedback from early users.
In the spring of 1993, a survey of users determined they would
be willing to pay for customer service and continued updates.
The first commercial version of OKbridge was launched in June
1994.
