ben kaufman
ben dropped out of college to pursue a career in world domination, a process he began by creating funky iPod cases? today, ben rules kluster. his main motivational tool is telling people to stop sucking. he’s been known to tell people they suck five, even six, times a day. with many great product designs behind him, he now wants to help the rest of the world do the same, possibly because his attention span is only slightly longer than his dog’s.

mike lacy
mike has been dropping logic bombs in the codebases of more companies than he can remember since the internets went commercial last century. prior to that, he spent time at duke where he learned only one thing - despite four years of study in biomedical engineering - work hard, play harder. a webby award official honoree three times over, mike is your atypical run-of-the-mill self-declared cyberpunk. he is looking forward to one day meeting the ghost in the shell.
tiffany markofsky
tiffany entered the scene by scoring a spot for ben on CNBC Power lunch before having even met ben, or watching power lunch (true story). she has yet to pull off any media coup since, but the goodwill of a single national broadcast landed her a full time gig at kluster. it's that easy. tiffany has no real "contacts" in the media world, no rag subscriptions, nor a TV which makes her the perfect candidate to head up our communications team. she does bring a forgiving manner, grey hair (relatively speaking) and upwards of fifteen pieces of flare at all times.... guilty pleasures include george michael, dunkin' donuts and tequila.
