Thomas Marban’s Summary
i'm a serial entrepreneur in the sphere of technology, design and people.
working on and for the web since 1996 i co-founded the austrian company celum at the age of 19 which today is a market leader in enterprise digital media asset management. i sold my share in 2007 and founded the one-man brand tomatic, a company focused on funding and creating micro web properties.
in 2006 i created popurls, a simple dashboard to the realtime-web that became one of the most popular sites of all time and received an honoree at the webbys for enabling real world activities online.
if it's about the web i'm really all over it. i believe in the web-enabled paradigm shift in business, media and society that implies authenticity, transparency & involvement.
