History

Causecast was formed by Ryan Scott,[9] who - as the co-founder of NetCreations - is widely considered the father of opt-in email marketing.[10] Ryan founded Causecast in 2007 to bring sophisticated technology to volunteer and giving programs. Ryan's commitment to community engagement around social change also led him to form the Impact and Education sections of the Huffington Post with Arianna Huffington.[11]
