Ross Kimbarovsky
Ross Kimbarovsky 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). Kimbarovsky co-founding crowdSPRING – the world’s #1 marketplace for crowdsourced graphic design, industrial design and writing services. crowdSPRING is helping to re-shape advertising and marketing around the world by giving clients of all size access to 122,000 talented designers and writers. Buyers who need a logo, website, custom graphic design, industrial design or written content post what they need, when they need it and how much they’ll pay. Buyers select from among actual work submitted by creatives, not bids or proposals. crowdSPRING has received numerous national and international awards, and has helped tens of thousands of buyers from over 100 countries meet their creative needs. Kimbarovsky mentors entrepreneurs through Founder Institute and Excelerate Labs, and frequently speaks to entrepreneurs, small business owners and marketers about crowdsourcing, marketing, and entrepreneurship. @RossKimbarovsky
