About Infinity Box Inc.
The Company
Chris Campbell, Kevin Hale and Ryan Campbell founded Infinity Box Inc. in January, 2006 on the belief that forms were the starting point for building anything useful on the web. The problem they saw was that one of the most efficient and used interfaces for collecting data, wasn’t very efficient to create.
After presenting their solution to Y Combinator, a venture firm that specializes in funding very early stage startups, they received the initial seed funding needed to work on their idea full time and get their project off the ground.
After 6 months of development, the three founders built Wufoo, a web application that removed the inefficiency and tediousness out of the form building process. Wufoo reduced what used to take days (if not weeks) by trained professionals into something that could be done by anyone in minutes.
Infinity Box is the second company created by the three founders. Their first, Particletree Inc, is responsible for the web development blog, Particletree, and the monthly PDF web development magazine, Treehouse.
The Founders
Chris Campbell is obsessed with buzz marketing and customer evangelism. He’s not afraid to get out there in a gorilla suit and respond to every one of his emails as if it were from his mom. When he’s not resolving disputes between Kevin and Ryan, he’s our favorite PHP developer—helping us get paid every time on time. Chris’s favorite weapon is the broad sword.
Kevin Hale is responsible for safe guarding the user experience of our application and designing every pixel of Wufoo’s interface. As much as Kevin likes keeping things clean and reliable, he loves adding features. More than that, he loves asking for new features in the middle of the night from his favorite two people, The Brothers Campbell. As a child, Kevin was the kid in class who ate a box of crayons for a dollar.
Ryan Campbell loves danger—and by danger, we mean databases. Ryan’s list of likes include Javascript, dragons, technical support and bug squashing. Dislikes include large insects, large food portions and large jelly beans. Ryan once dreamed he was a form for a day. People kept coming up to him and filling him out and clicking on his buttons. We’re not sure what Freud would have thought about that—we’re just glad he can’t get enough of this stuff during the day.
