David Ciccarelli and his wife Stephanie built Voices.com from a newspaper ad and a $15,000 loan into a 130-person marketplace connecting over 2 million voice talent with clients worldwide. This is the story of bootstrapping through 10,000 cold calls, betting $30,000 on a domain name they couldn't afford, surviving as a husband-and-wife founding team, and raising $18 million from Morgan Stanley to chase a Nasdaq IPO.
