It is every founder's dream to be able to build great products that will garner amazing loyalty from its customers and users. What many people may not realize is that to get to that point, the point where you have an amazing product that your users will love, be enamored with, and fall completely head over heels with is when you have a very tight knit and strong founding team. A team that is genuine in its voice and allows this genuineness to seep across the whole company.
With this post I wanted to bring attention to the people who have made CrowdClock, and the new people who have joined CrowdClock to allow us to grow in ways we could only imagine.
My co-founders at CrowdClock are:
Oliver Ahmadpour – he is first and foremost my dad, but also the best business partner any one person could ask for. His insight into using CrowdClock as a business owner is key to understanding businesses at large.
Ankit Sharma is head of Engineering and he is a beast at programming. Nothing can stop him and he is also very witty to boot!
Alex Harris is our CMO and a master at his craft in how messaging across the company should be honed to portray genuinely what we want to bring across audiences.
Neil Weintraut has been a VC for most of his professional life, with such notable investments such as when.com (acquired by aol for $260mm), esurance, CareerBuilder, DemandForce (acquired by Intuit for $500mm) and many more. He is an industry titan and we are very fortunate to have him as our co-founder leading strategy at CrowdClock.
But we don't stop at co-founders only. We also have the following amazing talent who have been with us a for a long while, and joining us as well.
Clarence Huang has been with CrowdClock for a long time. He is the man behind the iOS App, and also planning out the future architecture of CrowdClock.
Michael Darius, our newest addition to the team is an award winning designer having worked with Steve Jobs at Apple, won the Time Magazine product of the year and so much more.
Jeff Donahue who has been a rock, and has been advising us since inception! He is delight to work with, and an honor to call a friend.
Kevin Reddy is a very successful entrepreneur having sold his company in 2004, been a principal at Booze & Allen, and a world traveler.
Bogdan Cirlig is a super serial entrepreneur now working on his 9th startup! He has had 6 very successful exits with his first at age 19!
With this team of a wordsmith, an oracle of what will be successful, an award winning designer, a monster of a programmer who sees nothing as impossible, and an insight into how businesses operate and think, CrowdClock is poised for amazing things. Which brings me to my next point. CrowdClock is on the verge of launching something amazing. It is a "reincarnation" of what we have but in a much more evolved state with an amazing outlook for the near and long-term future. We simply cannot wait until we can start showing you what we mean.
