== 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>
Originally created as a simple online form builder, Formstack has expanded its offerings to include [[Workflow management system|workflow management]] solutions{{solution-inline}} for various industries, including marketing, education, healthcare, and human resources. The company is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN with another office located in Colorado Springs, CO.<ref>{{cite news |title=Software firm Formstack announces expansion into Colorado Springs |url=https://www.csbj.com/2017/12/06/formstack-announces-expansion-colorado-springs/ |accessdate=11 July 2018 |publisher=The Colorado Springs Business Journal |date=2017-12-06}}</ref> Over half of Formstack's workforce works remotely in regions across the United States, as well as Canada, Poland, Argentina, Mexico, and the Netherlands.
