   In a sixth grade technology elective then 12 year old Ben Casnocha was tasked with building a community service web site that was connected in some way to government.Based on the popularity of customer complaint resolutions in the retail sector, he felt that there was a need for a service that would resolve citizen complaints about local government.Shortly thereafter he launched an internet company to do just that.That service ultimately resolved the complaints of hundreds throughout the United States.Through this experience Ben learned that some governments were quite good at handling customer requests, and others were not so good.
   
   Based on the interactions seeking complaint resolution, Ben gathered valuable information on the customer support needs of local governments through focus groups and meetings with city managers, IT directors, and other city officials.He embarked on developing Comcate's first product, a request tracking tool for cities.This commitment to understanding the clients' needs continues today.
   
   When Ben started demonstrating the early version of eFeedbackManager, word spread about Comcate's founder and product and Ben received many meeting and speaking requests.As a result, cities throughout California began purchasing Comcate's product.Based on this success and input from advisors, Comcate now has a group of professionals with 100+ years experience in local government and business to lead the company going forward.
   
   Now 18 years old, Ben has been recognized internationally for his vision in e-government and his accomplishments as an entrepreneur.He was recently named one of the most influential people in the world on internet and politics (www.politicsonline.com).He has been featured on CNN Headline News, TechTV, and profiled in the SF Weekly . He has spoken at Stanford University and other business forums.Although Comcate has outgrown Ben's bedroom and now is a trusted CRM solution for cities, we still rely on the entrepreneurial passion that led to Comcate's creation.
