ABOUT ERIK ECCLES
Building is at the center of everything I’ve done. Be it a team, product, or revenue, it’s what I crave. Life is an adventure and I am thankful to continue to work with people that seek success over ego. My experience in technology reaches across verticals and industries from consumer to media, collaboration and SaaS, and marketplaces. I am currently building and learning with friends while advising and investing in other driven entrepreneurs. I am lucky to have had both success in my own companies such as Jumpcut (acquired by Yahoo! 2006), Versly (acquired by Cisco 2011) and Urbandoor (acquired by Airbnb 2019) and in the product and design team’s I’ve led at both Cisco (Launching Webex Team and their Collaboration Cloud 2014) and Airbnb (Launching the Airbnb Friendly Apartments Marketplace 2022).On the investing side I am happy be an early believer and seed investor in LaunchDarkly (Edith and John are rockstars) along with a host of companies still growing.Beyond all this, you can find me in the mountains having fun with the family…
