#1554 The story behind Formspring and Formstack




Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: I’ve been looking to understand today’s guest for years. He created one of the first form software on the Internet, the kind of form that you could put into your website. He created it, he built it up, he monetized it, and it went really well. And then, he comes up with this thing called Formspring. It was a site where anyone could ask questions and get answers, and it just became this huge social network. And it went away, almost as fast as it started. I’ve gotten in trouble with entrepreneurs by saying that one of their businesses failed but I want to know what happened. I’m going to ask him about that in this interview. Today’s guest is Ade Olonoh, the founder of form software Formstack. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/formstack-with-ade-olonoh/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/formstack-with-ade-olonoh/?get-twitter-card=true&amp;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Ade Olonoh is the founder of form software Formstack.</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p>With <a href="http://www.Bench.co/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Bench</a>, you get a professional bookkeeping team to do your books for you and our simple, elegant software to review your finances.
