About
Change. Innovation. Everyone talks about it. The web is fueled by it. While people pay attention to only 7 websites a day, they read 75 emails. Email is one of the most engaging communication platforms that has ever existed. Then why is it so constrained?
We believe email can delight, compel, and engage. It is our mission to broaden the possibilities in the way we communicate.
The Team
Vivek Sharma Co-Founder and CEO
Billy Zane thinks Vivek is one cool dude. Vivek has spent far too many years building startups after his first big company job out of school didn't take. He has a background in sales and product development at companies such as Engine Yard, Blue Martini, and Cisco Systems. He holds a degree in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but sadly no longer checks in code.
Michael Nutt Co-Founder and CTO
Michael is *not* a rock star. He hasn't thrown a guitar through a window in a whiskey-fueled rage (yet). He *is* a phenomenal engineer with a nice design aesthetic. Michael has been instrumental in product development at Gilt Groupe and Limewire. You may know his open source work on projects such as Hummingbird. Michael is also a frequent contributor to various Ruby projects.
Olivier Lauzon Software Engineer
Olivier loves languages (and long walks on the beach). As a kid, he learned several natural languages, and deepened this interest by studying computer programming languages. He co-founded a web design and development agency, and built web applications for art, engineering, education, and retail clients. When not immersed in code, Olivier can be found underwater, holding his breath.
Ryan Pipkin Account Executive
When not hard at work, you'll find Ryan writing about cigars while swinging in his hammock. With experience only in the youngest, most ambitious, rapidly growing companies, Ryan loves disruptive technologies & business models. As an entrepreneur he co-founded three companies, and has driven the sales effort at Angelsoft.net and now at Movable Ink. He holds a BA in Economics from The University of Texas, at Austin.
Lee Bankewitz Director of Engineering
Lee is a proud Urban Achiever who earned his stripes on Agile teams at Weplay, Oxygen, and Chyron. He spent years working with C# and Java before being lucky enough to find a paying Ruby gig. A Rubyist now for 4 years and counting, he also lists guitar, golf, snowboarding, and a voracious appetite for reading as other pastimes.
