About Eric Knopf

Eric is a entrepreneur who has a passion for business, technology and new ventures. Eric’s entrepreneurial drive started at an early age making lemonade stands and selling his family’s corn on the neighborhood corner street outside of Portland Oregon. Eric pursued his passion for marketing, web technology, advertising and business at Westmont College (http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.westmont.edu&t=NTNjNTUyMzU1YTk3ZDQxOWE1MWI2ZTA1M2I5NzliZjQ3ODk3YTI1NixUbU4zdWpESg%3D%3D&p=&m=0) in Santa Barbara California.

During his time at Westmont Eric founded his first entrepreneurial venture and that won him Entrepreneur of the Year from the GSEA (Global Student Entrepreneurs Association) for the southwest region of the United States. Shortly before graduating with a degree in business, Eric founded Vision Launchers LLC (http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.visionlaunchers.com&t=YjlhYTdiMmMxYWY5MDZlNGUxMzY2NWQyZTNjNzNlMjNlYzg5MzVmYixUbU4zdWpESg%3D%3D&p=&m=0), a full service creative and technology agency to streamline the launching process for new ideas and ventures.

The small team at Vision Launchers helped start or grow nearly 200 ideas, businesses and companies for clients spanning the globe and ranging in nearly every industry. Clients ranging from incubating napkin scratch ideas to helping reposition multibillion dollar companies, Vision Launchers provided the breeding ground for several other entrepreneurial ventures over coming the years.

In late 2008, Eric and a friend John Russell co-founded an online fundraising technology and event registration technology called Webconnex (http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webconnex.com&t=MTRiZWQ2YjQ3NGFiOWFjZjU3YWI1NzczODdlMjllMjI3NGM1NDA4YixUbU4zdWpESg%3D%3D&p=&m=0).
