While still a college student, Alan Martin founded CampusBookRentals in 2007. With credit cards and investments from early believers, CampusBookRentals grew from its humble beginnings to one of the fastest growing companies in the nation, delivering textbooks and technology to students and bookstores across the nation and employing more than 120 people in Ogden, Utah. Inc. magazine recognized it as the fastest growing company in the education industry and the seventeenth fastest growing company in the nation overall.

Founder and CEO of DropShip Commerce, Jeremy Hanks also cofounded Doba. While CEO there, he bootstrapped Doba's growth more than 3,000 percent from 2003 to 2006, earning a #23 ranking on the Inc. 500, a #1 on the Utah 100 (fastest growing company in Utah), a four-time winner in Utah Business's "Best Companies to Work For," and a finalist in the 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He is also the founder of LaunchUp.org, which focuses on "barn raising" monthly events for entrepreneurs in Utah and Las Vegas.
