== History ==

Formstack was founded by Ade Olonoh on February 28, 2006. In November 2009, Formstack (then called '''FormSpring''') launched [[formspring.me]], a social [[question and answer site]] where users could ask questions, give answers, and learn more about their friends. Because of the success of the site, formspring.me was spun out as a separate company in January 2010 with a different team and different resources. To allow both companies to continue their growth, FormSpring.com became Formstack.com to avoid any confusion with formspring.me.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ibj.com/articles/18911|title=FormSpring.com changes name to eliminate confusion with social site|access-date=2017-04-03}}</ref>
