Revdel (the company that sells RED) was founded in May 2010 by Patrick Stoddart, after obtaining its first three clients. RED was tested and evaluated for one academic year at Patrick's high school; in Lee's Summit, Missouri; prior to its launch in May 2010.

Since then, we've been vigorously gathering feedback from our growing client base and using that to constantly improve RED and find new ways to market it. In that process, we discovered that RED has enormous applications outside of only K-12 educational institutions. We moved next into chambers of commerce, then nonprofits, then athletic organizations, and (most recently) churches. We have discovered that the communication problems faced by K-12 schools are not unique, and we truly hope to change the way organizations communicate with their members in a very fundamental way—one that encourages transparency, immediacy, and involvement.

Patrick Stoddart is the 20-year-old founder of Revdel, and creator of RED. Patrick graduated from Lee's Summit High School, and went on to attend two years at Pittsburg State University, studying management and Spanish. He currently lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri; and is working on expanding RED's use throughout the Kansas City area, and into other parts of Kansas and Missouri (any beyond, of course).

Patrick has been profiled in The Joplin Globe, The Morning Sun, and others, including a story done by Pittsburg State.
