Noam Lovinsky’s Summary
I've gone from a few Windows CE hardware startups that you've probably never heard of to an enterprise software company that you may have heard of, but you're most likely mistaking it for Peachtree Accounting.
From the doldrums of the enterprise software world, a few friends and I decided to give up on the idea of salaries and try our luck at building a consumer destination site. That didn't work out too well, but the consumer bug stayed
In general, I draw the most satisfaction from working hard with my friends, building products that create perpetual user delight, and helping my team succeed in whatever they love to do.

Co-founder
Buttercouple.com
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)
February 2005 — July 2005 (6 months)
"It's what's on the the outside that counts"
Hooking people up on the Web through purely superficial means. That was fun. I now understand why HotOrNot.com makes so much money. -
Senior Product Manager
Plumtree Software
(Public Company; 201-500 employees; PLUM; Computer Software industry)
June 2002 — May 2005 (3 years)
[Recently acquired by BEA Systems.]
Most of my time at Plumtree was spent as the Product Manager on our Enterprise Collaboration Software. The releases I worked with focused on desktop integration and a complete UI redesign. Yes, believe it or not, we had a full "AJAX" UI in 2004.
From the Collaboration product I moved to Plumtree's research group to work on our next generation application framework. Think of Plumtree as the best way for businesses to create their own mashups from enterprise systems like Siebel, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Active Directory, etc.
Plumtree was a place full of inspiring passionate people that were truly ahead of their time in many respects. -
Product Manager
Credesis
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)
May 2001 — December 2001 (8 months)
Built enterprise software to automate the credit underwriting process for large commercial banks.
Lesson learned: there are tons of "web" applications built on top of Lotus Notes. Scary... -
Co-founder
Calsnacks.com
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)
September 2000 — October 2001 (1 year 2 months)
We built WebVan for college students. Delivering candy, soda, snacks, and condoms to the many eager consumers on the Berkeley campus. ;-) Fraternities make excellent for customers when a poor pledge is responsible for stocking the house.
Now all I have to show for it is some embarrassing articles on the Web. Why can't we delete entries from Google? -
Product Manager
Mainbrace
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Hardware industry)
May 2000 — November 2000 (7 months)
[Acquired by bSquare software]
During my short time at Mainbrace, I worked on one of the earliest wireless Tablet PCs (webpads was the name then) based on the 802.11 standard. Bill Gates held up our device at Comdex and that was certainly one of the highlights. Later we were acquried by bSquare. -
IT Consultant
KPMG Consulting
(Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; BE; Information Technology and Services industry)
May 1999 — September 1999 (5 months)
[Now BearingPoint]
Wow, working for a giant organization probably isn't for me.
