Founder story
Founded in 2003 by Jason VandeBoom in Chicago. Jason began as a consultant, building custom marketing software for clients. He realized that existing tools were too fragmented and simple, so he spent over a decade bootstrapping ActiveCampaign into a full-scale automation engine before ever taking venture capital.
