Many founders and CEOs can attest to how running just one business can consume someone’s life.  That’s why cool person in technology Tony Stubblebine stands out in his field.  For him, one tech startup was not enough, he actively runs two.  In 2007, Stubblebine founded CrowdVine, a company that creates web-based social networks for conferences and company events.  That company grew over the years and remained successful, but in 2011, Stubblebine decided that he needed more.  He had another idea that he wanted to nurture and grow into a successful business.  That idea was Lift, an iPhone app that assists users in forming and maintaining good habits such as exercising, eating healthy, and keeping in touch with old friends.  Some founders and CEOs would have left one company to start another, or even sold their first venture to support the next, but Stubblebine continues to work as the head of both businesses.

Stubblebine’s first startup, CrowdVine, creates event-specific social networks for its clients.  Each network works as a way for event attendees to easily network by finding out who else is present at the event and deciding if they want to meet them.  It also includes calendars with activities for longer events such as professional conferences.  Stubblebine and his team design CrowdVine’s social networks specifically with the intent of facilitating more networking opportunities at professional events.  If a conference you attend has a dedicated social network, but you have trouble navigating it, find online tech support.

Stubblebine’s newer company, Lift, is an iPhone app that lets you input new habits you want to start and then tracks you to inform you of how well you’re doing.  Lift integrates with your phone and your social networks to help you keep track of your habits.  Users can input goals like “go to the gym more often” or “keep in better contact with my parents” and Lift will tell you how well you are keeping these new habits.  It also uses social integrations to help you share your goals with your friends so they can help motivate you. Users who are interested in Stubblebine’s app but are having difficulty using it should speak to iPhone support.

Stubblebine’s background is on the technical side of Internet business.  Before founding CrowdVine and Lift, he was a software engineer for several years at companies such as Odeo and O’Reilly Media.
