Our Story

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 Team

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—having created the billing and payment systems to help us and our users get paid every time and 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 innovation. More than that, he loves asking for innovation 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.

Tim Sabat serves as Wufoo’s Minister of Power. He’s addicted to code optimization, unit testing and all things object oriented. Tim fell in love with tech while doing desktop programming in the .NET framework. He also knows how to write in the 'M' programming language--an arcane environment you can look up, but should never ever use. Tim is also quite clever. One weekend, through a patented scientific formula, he used an Easy-Bake™ oven to make Easy-Mac™ and Easy-Cheese™ even easier

Alex Vazquez is Wufoo's Chief Rainmaker and is responsible for coding miracles. He’s a certified configuration king steeped in the art of the dreaded Java class loader. Alex likes to sip lattes and theorize on the value of the array. Having recently broken free from his J2EE shackles, he faces the worst that PHP and JavaScript has to throw at him with a stone-faced calm and a steely-eyed glare. Alex is a man who’s been here, but hopes to get there.

Andrew Gosnell remains first and foremost a gentleman, but he also serves as Wufoo's First Line of Defense. He's our support super master and odds are that if you ever run into an issue, problem or question about our services, you're going to have it resolved quickly and efficiently by this man. Andrew is a true secret agent and believes heavily in the transformative power of logic to overcome matters of the heart.

Elaine Campbell is our company's Number Crusher. She's in charge of all of our finances and making the most out of our budgets and projections. You could say she plays both the gatekeeper and the keymaster and that means with her, there are no shortcuts and there no safe havens. She's also deceptively strong as an ox. This means if you're looking for an evening of embarrassment, challenge her to a friendly arm wrestling match.

Many Thanks!

Wufoo is awesome because everyone who encountered it, helped generously and enthusiastically. And while we thank you all, the following is a list of people with web sites that helped a lot : BitPusher, FAMFAMFAM, Squidfingers, Julius Santiago, Brian Campbell.
