Hello,
We’re Fanatical Labs and we give businesses superpowers.

We work feverishly in our labs to create gadgets and gizmos that let your business do more. Fanatical Labs specializes in creating the tech that turns a platform into a community.

We have a history of
delivering amazing products

Look, we get it. It’s great that people can write plugins for your platform. But to keep that software ecosystem alive and vibrant, you need a bazaar, a place buyers and sellers know, a place they can always find what they need. We’ve spent the past five years learning how to build killer marketplaces and plugins. Here's our team and our track record …

  • Jason Eggers

    Minneapolis, MN

    Long known as “eggsurplus” in the SugarCRM community, Jason leads the strategic partner and marketing efforts for Fanatical Labs. He also annoyingly calls charges in pickup basketball games.

  • Chad Hutchins

    Tyler, TX

    Chad serves as the CTO of Fanatical Labs. He also serves as co-founder, integration expert, supreme bug-fixer, nasty-shot blocker and chief code monkey. He has only occasionally been accused of taking himself too seriously.

  • Jon Sheppard

    Houston, TX

    Since joining the team in 2015 as Director of Product, Jon has spent most of his time working with clients and prospects to better understand how we can meet their needs. As a former head basketball coach, Jon would never call charges in a pickup game.

  • Heidi Washington

    Ft. Worth, TX

    Joining the team in 2018, Heidi works as our Director of Customer Success to improve the customer experience and is the go-to for our customers when they need help with our products.

  • Jessica Biondo

    San Diego, CA

    With a knack for creative design, big ideas and the small details that make each project shine, Jessica enjoys connecting brands to both businesses and consumers through the art of storytelling.
