Description
Hearsay Social In fall of 2000, Clara Shih and Steve Garrity met as freshmen in the Stanford Computer Science Department. Over the next four years, they built a strong friendship and mutual respect which would later become the foundation for Hearsay Social.
Clara joined Google and later Salesforce, helping create the first generation of web applications.Steve went on to work at Fortify and later Microsoft, where he helped create Windows Mobile and Azure, honing his background in mobile, cloud, and enterprise scale, security, and reliability.
In 2007, a Facebook app Clara had built for fun suddenly went viral. Forrester credited it with “kickstarting the Social Business Movement.” Clara was approached by a publisher to pen the first book about social business. The Facebook Era became an instant hit featured in the NY Times and picked up by Harvard Business School as a marketing textbook.
Realizing that social media presented an even larger opportunity than the web a decade ago and that enterprises needed help driving business, relevancy, and loyalty in the new era Clara messaged Steve on Facebook and Hearsay Social was born.
