Co-founded @mongomusic in 1999, sold to @microsoft in 2000. Building tech for startups ever since.
With MongoMusic we evolved an tiny idea into a company, into angels, into VC's, and finally into an acquisition by Microsoft in a little over a year. From Redmond, I then helped build our technology into the MSN Music Service. Starting immediately we lobbied hard to make it a marketplace to sell music downloads but sadly, the folks in charge weren't willing to pull the trigger with the record companies. Turned out that Apple was, and you know what happened next.
Since then I have built the technology underpinnings for a number of business-oriented companies in the fields of online advertising, digital marketing, and social media.
