A Letter from Our Founder

My name is David Marlin and I founded MetaComet® in 2000. When we decided to create this website my copywriter asked me an important question. While the question was deep and thought provoking my answer came instantly.

He asked, “Besides making money, why are you in business? What is the emotional story behind what you do and why you do it?

Without skipping a beat I said, “MetaComet® exists because of my passion for building software that makes people’s lives better. Royalty management was the first problem I noticed and decided to tackle. Our purpose is to build really quality products that we can be proud of because they solve painful problems and help people run their businesses more effectively.”

By building and refining our suite of software solutions we’ve accomplished my original goal. Hundreds of people and businesses have been positively impacted by the efficiency and stress relief our software provides. Those businesses span an extraordinary range of industries, from biotechnology and life sciences to entertainment, consumer product licensing, education, and beyond. What unites them is a shared frustration with royalty complexity, and a shared relief when that complexity finally gets solved.

Our reason for existence, passion for building elegant software that solves painful problems, has never waivered. Each year we make substantial investments to improve the features and functionality of our solutions based on feedback from your peers. Also, we invest heavily in the people that provide truly exceptional customer service and support.

In the end, we’ve built something more important than software. We’ve built a happy family of customers and a workplace that allows people to follow their individual passions.

I hope you’ll join us.

Sincerely,

David Marlin

Quote Testimonial
“After twenty years in the publishing business and then launching Familius I knew I wanted a no-nonsense royalty system that provided easy-to-read and accurate statements with a click of a button. Metacomet delivered and has made royalty work almost completely automated. What used to take days now takes a few hours and with Metacomet’s scale-ability, we can take this work to minutes. Yes!

And behind Metacomet’s tech there are some tremendous people. David and Khalid and team are top notch and just plain cool, always willing to help, listen, and explore the ideas of their publishers. We are not clients, we are partners. Kudos to the Metacomet team for being an awesome group of people willing to help solve a publisher’s needs.”
