Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Marblesoft started in October, 1983 and delivered our first product in January, 1984.
What is your primary product or service?
We create educational software for people with disabilities. Our software allows access for people who cannot normally use the mouse and keyboard, with special features for learning and developmental disabilities.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My co-founder and I met in a Fortran class (if you can believe it) in college and wrote some programs for his two-year old. A special ed teacher he knew convinced us to modify the software for kids who couldn't use the keyboard, and we were off and running.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our software allows the user to operate the computer with the mouse, keyboard, a touch screen or remote switches. We concentrate on making the programs simple, clear and fun for the user. If they aren't careful, they just might learn something, too!
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are located in Blaine, MN and plan to be here for the foreseeable future.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We do not have a retail store. We generally ship the products to our customers. Customers can call us at 763-755-1402.
What type of payments do you accept?
We can accept Visa, MasterCard or a school purchase order.
Which areas do you service?
We service the entire United States, with a small amount of business in Canada and abroad.
