Ben Chestnut started a Web development agency called The Rocket Science Group in April 2000, and was in charge of designing intranets, Websites, and other nerdy stuff for clients like Coca-Cola, The Arthritis Foundation, Coleman, and Worldspan.

In 2001, The Rocket Science Group launched MailChimp, an e-mail marketing service built for creatives. MailChimp has since grown to over 45,000 users from all over the globe (including Mozilla, New Riders Publishing, and Harvard University), who manage over 77 million subscribers and deliver over 5 million e-mail campaigns a day.

Ben is the voice behind the MonkeyBrains e-mail marketing blog, where he shares his love for e-mail marketing — and monkeys — with anybody who'll listen.
