AMA Guest: Eric Knopf, Co-founder of Webconnex

Eric Knopf is the co-founder of Webconnex, alongside his close friend John Russell, a company that might not ring a bell to many, but boasts a clientele of over 30,000 customers, including globally recognized brands, relying on their software solutions to power their events and charitable fundraising initiatives. Their suite of products, such as RegFox for event registration, TicketSpice for event ticketing, Redpodium for sports registration, and GivingFuel for charitable giving, has facilitated transactions exceeding $1.5 billion, with current daily processing nearing $2 million.

Remarkably, Webconnex has achieved this success without a dime of VC funding, maintaining profitability throughout, a feat that sets them apart in the industry.
