Ross Kimbarovsky
                               Co-founder,
                               Crowdspring.com

   In 2007, Ross left a successful 13 year career as a trial lawyer to pursue his dream of founding a
   technology company (in part so that he could wear shorts and sandals to work every day) by co-
   founding crowdSPRING – the world’s #1 marketplace for crowdsourced graphic design, industrial design
   and copywriting services.


                                                                          Lukas Biewald,
                                                                          Chairman/Co-founder,
                                                                          Crowdflower.com

                               Wooshii.com

   By 2004 Fergus had spent several years building the UK’s leading student tour operator and Europe’s
   largest Winter music festival and decided to swap his snowboard for a surfboard in South West Portugal.
   A bizarre place to then co-found a start-up like Wooshii!

   Wooshii is an on-line marketplace for video professionals servicing small businesses with videos for their
   websites.

   Niel Robertson came to Colorado from Boston in 1998 to find out more about “this state he was

   and Flip Flops.
   Currently, he is the founder and CEO of Trada, the world’s first and only crowdsourced paid search
   marketplace.

                                   Crowdsourcing Video
  Putting together effective web videos to market brands and products is a challenge for SMB
  marketing teams - but the payoff is huge. Genius Rocket and Wooshii have both applied the
  crowdsourcing approach to video content creation: offering accessible, manageable video to SMBs.
  They'll weigh in on which companies should have a marketing video strategy, what type of content
  gets results, and how to successfully use crowdsourcing to get what you want out of video
  marketing - without the crippling cost of a creative agency or in-house video team.
