Tony Guntharp (born May 16, 1969) was the team project manager and one of the four co-founders of SourceForge (along with Uriah Welcome, Tim Perdue and Drew Streib) which launched in November 1999. Prior to this he had co-founded Fresher Information Corp. [ [http://fresher.com/] Fresher Information Corp.] , an object oriented database management software firm.

He eventually left VA Software (the owners of the SF property) due to disagreements about the levels of support SourceForge was receiving internally.

He also co-authored "Practical Linux". [ [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0789722518/ Practical Linux] From QUE Publishing.] .

Damage Studios

Later, he founded [http://www.damagestudios.net Damage Studios] with several former VA employees, including Greg Kucharo, Steve Westmoreland, Joseph Arruda, San Mehat, Chris DiBona and Craig Ross. The MMOG called Rekonstruction was supposed to be the final product, but the company folded after 18 months (and ironically after a feature article in Forbes Magazine).

He has since held positions with several other Silicon Valley start ups and resides in San Francisco.
