Stefan Fountain
Chief Product Monkey, Viadeo
I make stuff out of nothing.
I break stuff until there's only good stuff left.
Above all want to understand how to create value.
Half Dutch and half New Zealander, Stefan is co-founder and CEO of Soocial, a startup aiming to create the next generation contact management platform.
Stefan loves creating simple applications for complicated problems, managing his talented team of engineers and pushing the boundaries of entrepreneurship with little to no money.
He holds a MSc degree in Business Information Technology from the University of Twente. His master thesis analysed the effects of Trust and Network effects on online applications; an article based on this research was recently published in the Journal of Direct, Data and Digital Marketing Practice in 2008.
