Founder CEO at @HealthCare.com (4x Inc 5000)@ContactUs.com • Co-founder/COO BrokersWeb (Inc 500 co with $50M+ revenue - acq'd), former VC
I wasn't a born entrepreneur. I started with a traditional finance path. UPenn/Wharton => Investment Banking (Merrill Lynch) => VC (VantagePoint Venture Partners). I changed paths in 2007, and got to work with a great group of founders and previously successful entrepreneurs to launch HealthCare.com, which evolved to BrokersWeb. We scaled that revenue to over $50M in 2011 (and was nicely profitable), before a successful sale that year. It was a nice outcome. I moved back to NYC. I still had to itch to build companies, and co-founded ContactUs.com in 2012. We self-funded, and have gotten this business of the ground quickly. We're growing a user base, and love our prospects. In 2014, I relaunched a new HealthCare.com to build a new product-focused search application to help consumers find better healthcare and make better healthcare decisions.
