Partners Making a Name for Themselves With IT Startup TECHNOLOGY: Despite Economy, Business Off to Wild Start By RICHARD GINCEL Staff

"The definition of the American dream may be getting lost in transition, but if it still involves leaving your job and starting your own wildly successful business with expertise honed in your former corporate days, then the three founders of Aeon Computing are living the good life. Since launching their information technology services company in San Diego in March, it has raked in at least $100,000 in early revenue estimates released by Connect, a technology trade group that tracks local startups. However, the revenue figure rises to $800,000, according to a timelier estimate by the three entrepreneurs, formerly senior engineers at Western Scientific, who are making a name for themselves and Aeon: brothers Doug and Jeff Johnson, and Peter Pelekis. To what do they attribute their success? They all agree. It’s the result of the freedom to do things their own way. Gone are days of meeting sales quotas based on what’s piling up in the warehouse. No more overstated performance goals."
