FastScale's initial seed financing came from LeBlanc herself, who was previously vice president of marketing and business development at Scyld Software. (See Scyld Joins With Cluster.) Stevan Vlaovic, the FastScale CTO, and Richard Offer, the startup's vice president of engineering, were, respectively, systems architect at Sun and technical lead at SGI and Rolls Royce.
The startup's advisory board of industry CIOs may also provide a hint as to the identity of FastScale's first customers and technology partners. Mercedes De Luca, vice president of information systems at Yahoo, is one of the luminaries signed up to advise FastScale on its product roadmap, along with Al Pappas, the former CIO of VMware.
