About

We founded GoalSpring in early 2008 out of frustration with currently available financial services that “push products” rather than help people reach their goals.

About one-half of the U.S. households currently have a “debt problem,” which we define as having high-interest credit card debt that is not being paid down every month. Given the recent economic crisis, its probably no surprise that “getting out of debt” is today’s #1 financial goal. Our first product, DebtGoal, makes paying down debt as easy and efficient as possible.

DebtGoal is an online service that takes into account all of a customer’s debt (credit cards, student loans, car loans and mortgages) and helps them organize, optimize and pay-down their debt. We are a socially responsible company. This means we focus on the social mission of debt reduction as well as building a great business.

Founders

Scott Crawford, Founder and CEO

Before GoalSpring, Scott worked for HSBC where he ran product R&D, product management and consumer insights in HSBC’s credit card group. While at HSBC, Scott developed an appreciation for the burdens caused by excessive consumer debt and the customer demand for a simple debt-reduction service. Prior to HSBC, Scott worked at Dell, Inc, Bain & Co., and for the Congressional Budget Office. Scott has an MBA from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and a BA in economics from UCLA. Scott cares passionately about helping people get out of debt, having seen its effects in his family and with the credit card customers he worked with at HSBC and views GoalSpring as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring a great business to solve one of society’s most pressing problems.

Steve Richmond, Founder

Before GoalSpring, Steve co-founded SelectMinds, an enterprise software company that delivers proprietary, LinkedIn-style networking solutions to Fortune 2000 companies. Before SelectMinds, Steve worked for Farmer & Company, a boutique strategy consulting organization, and Hambrecht & Quist, a technology-focused investment bank. Steve has an A.B. from Princeton University and was awarded the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship for graduate study at Trinity College in Dublin. Steve financed his first business on credit cards, and is excited by the opportunity to help others with their debt reduction challenge.

Gene Volovich, Founder

Before GoalSpring, Gene was an Agile & XP coach, mentoring software teams to write better code. Before that, Gene led the technology behind SelectMinds, an enterprise software company that delivers LinkedIn-style networking solutions. Before SelectMinds, Gene worked in the financial sector, developing software for Greenwich Capital Markets (now RBS Greenwich Capital) and Bloomberg. Gene holds a B.S. degree in Computer Science from Stanford University. Gene paid off his last credit card debts in 1999, and still remembers what a great feeling it was. He’s excited to give others that opportunity.
