Social Platform LLC was founded by Eric Schlissel in 2005 to address the growing need for social applications. Schlissel quickly brought Joe Stump onboard to architect a system for increasing business impact through social applications unlike any other in the marketplace.

Its flagship product, Social Platform Enterprise is a complete hosted offering for delivering branded, high-end social applications. Its enterprise-grade, white label solution integrates with a customer's existing online offerings and scales to meet future growth.
Schlissel has spent the last 10 years at the helm of several notable IT companies. Social Platform is a culmination of his experience and formal education in Cultural Anthropology.
Schlissel began his technical consulting career in 1996 establishing his own company, Ornaco Technologies. Ornaco specialized in small office networks. The company was acquired and integrated into a national IT management firm in 1997.
In 1998 Mr. Schlissel formed Be Computing, Inc. The company specialized in software and hardware integration for government agencies and Fortune 1000 clients. Be Computing was an early champion of the open source movement, delivering workstations with open source operating systems to the scientific community.
As the demand for web presence began to increase, Schlissel expanded his network of companies. In 2000, he launched Geek Teknologies. The new company focused on web consultancy to an emerging small to medium size business sector beginning to leverage the Internet. An authoritative resource for web hosting and development, Geek Technologies became immersed in the expansion of interactive applications and technologies, increasing their knowledge base and suite of services to its customers.
Mr. Schlissel complemented his affinity for computers and technology developed in his secondary educational environment with a degree in Cultural Anthropology in the 1990’s. Having graduated from one of the top schools in the country, Schlissel spent time on BBS systems and became fascinated with the possibilities and impact of the Internet. Stimulated by his early interest in social networks, Schlissel formed Social Platform in 2005 as a web-based software venture to capitalize on his vision.
A Long Island native, Schlissel is a resident of Los Angles, CA.
