Alex Schliker is founder of CureCRM, a service that uses email conversations to power Customer Relationship Management. Previously, Alex founded Venture Weekend, an entrepreneurship event hosted at Stanford, at UT Austin, and in the bay area of California. Historically, he's covered most of his expenses (living, windsurfing, cycling, traveling, loving) by selling website subscription software at FantasticScripts.com. Before that, he ran a website development firm in Dallas, Texas with a location in Austin at CodeRAM.com. His first undertaking was a web based proxy for surfing the web anonymously - he sold this to classmates in high school (getting suspended from internet privileges in the process) and ultimately sold the business on eBay.

Alex's work has been featured in Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Popular Science magazine, eWeek, Lifehacker, CNNMoney.com Fortune, TechCrunch, CNet, and other publications.

His biggest feat was an incredible cycling trip from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska with Texas 4000, the longest charity bike tour in the world.

Alex attended the University of Texas at Austin in the Business Honors program - he won first prize in a consulting competition that afforded a free trip to Panama.
