Eric Netsch
Eric Raymond Netsch (born July 23, 1992), is an American computer engineer and CEO of the e-commerce app building platform Tapcart.[1]
Early Life and Education
Netsch was born in Piedmont, CA, the youngest of two children to Robert R. Netsch, an American product management engineer, formerly at Asyst Technologies, and Patricia J. Netsch, an American energy strategist, formerly manager of governmental affairs at Chevron.
After graduating high school in 2010, Netsch ventured to New Zealand where he worked as a laborer on a farm picking apples. Returning to Southern California in April 2011, he enrolled as an undergraduate at UCLA from 2011–2014, majoring in Computer Science, before dropping out to focus on building his first mobile-based company Mobile First Studios.[2]
Career
As Netsch navigated his way through learning the language of technology, he became a creative developer of websites and mobile apps. His first app, Vogo, was created in 2012, focusing on creating 15-second video reviews by consumers of any product, food, or establishment they wished to review.
Once Netsch had left UCLA in 2014, he founded and launched his first company, Mobile First Studios,[2] which focused on developing creative and effective mobile digital experiences ranging from UX/UI, and web and application development.
Though Mobile First Studios[2] was a successful company for Netsch, it led to the idea and development of Tapcart[3], launched and founded in 2017, a SaaS e-commerce app building platform for Shopify users.
In July 2017, Netsch gained the attention of Luma Pictures, a visual effects company that was one of Tapcart's initial investors.[4]
In March 2018, Amplify, a Los Angeles-based pre-seed investment company, backed Tapcart[3] [5][6] after being impressed with Netsch and his co-founder Sina Mobasser.
In early 2018, Tapcart[3] became an official ShopifyPlus Partner.[7] This was largely due to the tireless efforts of Netsch and Mobasser.
