The original idea behind ChangeThis came from Seth Godin, and was built in the summer of 2004 by Amit Gupta, Catherine Hickey, Noah Weiss, Phoebe Espiritu, and Michelle Sriwongtong.

We remain committed to the high-design quality and independent spirit of the original team that brought ChangeThis into the world.
