Origin story

How Ontraport started

In 2006, Landon Ray, Pin Chen, and Steven Schneider built the first version of Ontraport from a yurt in Santa Barbara, California — frustrated by the limits of available tools and fed up with juggling dozens of disconnected apps. The challenge they set out to solve was a genuine paradox: building something powerful enough to run a real business, but simple enough that anyone could use it without a technical team. At the time, the market offered either limited single-point tools or bloated enterprise suites that required dedicated admins to manage. Twenty years later, Ontraport serves thousands of businesses across more than 60 countries with a single platform that unifies CRM, marketing automation, payments, and a no-code CMS — and the mission hasn't changed.
