Brian Pontarelli is co-founder and CEO of FusionAuth. FusionAuth helps companies easily roll authentication workflows for their public facing applications. For example, FusionAuth is an alternative to writing custom code for user creation and multi-factor authentication login for a new web application. FusionAuth is entirely bootstrapped, and the company has successfully become a legitimate enterprise option for customer identity. Before FusionAuth, Brian started CleanSpeak, one of the original companies for profanity filters in chat interfaces. Brian is still the CEO of both businesses, and he tells the story of how the two tie together in our conversation.
