Marcelo Calbucci’s Summary
Marcelo founded Sampa in 2005 after almost a decade of frustrations in building websites for family and friends, using tools that most would find too difficult to use. Before Sampa, Marcelo was a development manager at Microsoft where he worked in the MSN division. Marcelo has been developing software professionally and for fun for more than 20 years. He is passionate about using technology to solve people's problems, big or small. Prior to Microsoft, he worked at NEC and before that he was studying Computer Science which he got a degree for. In his spare time Marcelo is an "almost famous" blogger with a personal blog, an entrepreneurship blog, a cooking blog, and a family blog. He also likes to cook, play soccer with friends, and spend time with his wife and two-year-old son.
Marcelo is the editor of the Seattle 2.0 blog (www.seattle20.com) a blog dedicated at helping entrepreneurs and tech startups in the Seattle area.

Founder & CTO
Sampa
(Internet industry)
February 2005 — Present (4 years 6 months)
I founded Sampa because I felt disconnect between people’s need for a place on the web where they can safely share what they want and the current solutions available.
Almost everyone that is “online” has an email address. But how many have a personal or family website? How many create a baby site for their newborn?
Our vision is to give you all the resources necessary to create an engaging and beautiful website for you, your family, your baby, your wedding and all the big life milestones that you want to share.
Sampa has a patent-pending integration with email that automatically notifies your visitors of new content on the site. It also gives them a 1-click access to the content, even if the content is private on the website making it suitable for you to invite people on a wide-range of technical skill set, aka, your family!
And please, send me all the feedback (good and bad) that you can!
