Christian Hunter
Launching and selling his first company before reaching the end of his teen years, Austin, Texas, serial entrepreneur Christian Hunter retired at the age of 19. Not one to stay on the sidelines for too long, however, the Austin resident soon re-entered the workforce and established another business with a close friend. Leveraging Internet technology to help clients identify deals on homes, vehicles, and other purchases, Christian Hunter founded Bargain Network, Inc. As Chief Executive Officer of Bargain Network, Inc., Austin local Christian Hunter led his employees in providing users with easy-to-operate tools and quality resources for securing deals on real estate foreclosures, urban development homes, and pre-owned automobiles. Hunter and his team facilitated users’ access to car auctions and discounts on goods through telephone, mail, and Internet correspondence. Three years after establishing Bargain Network, Inc., Austin resident Christian Hunter engaged in a second enterprise and founded TouchCommerce.com (then inQ.com). This early, live-chat-based, sales application employed computer-centric, experiential monitoring of human-to-human text communications to independently generate suggestions for agents fielding questions posed by visitors to their sites. In his spare time, Austin-based Hunter enjoys vacationing in Santa Barbara, California, snowboarding, online gaming, keeping in touch with family and friends through his Facebook account, and reading. Having read and reviewed more than 150 books for Amazon.com, the Austin entrepreneur has earned the rank of Top Reviewer.
