Episode 08: Craig Vodnik
About Craig
Craig is the Co-Founder and CEO of cleverbridge, a full-service e-commerce platform for software and subscription model businesses. He bootstrapped the business for the first two years until it became profitable in 2007.
Craig loves to tell stories, having done so as a mentor at many tech incubators around Chicago, and he is an active investor through Hyde Park Angels.
Being a music lover and a fan of vinyl and classic gear, he has a 1965 Grundig KS620 stereo console in his office, and as if that’s not enough, he even founded the HiFi clinic, which bills itself as the “finest recovery, restoration, and studio clinic since the Reagan administration.”
And wherever there’s music, there’s usually a party. Accurate correlation for Craig, who opens his office rooftop for Chicago’s tech community in a weekly invite-only summer soiree known as Deck Tech.
