    Achievements

    Was hired by Apple at 15. Helped lay the groundwork for the Internet transforming the music industry.

    After Apple, I created one of the first websites that taught specific science education to kids.

    Raised a $3m VC round for Invention Machine Corp in 2 weeks (from start to close) when I was 18.

    Co-Founded Miavita, an online health & nutrition website later sold to Matria.

    Served as VC Associate to Mike Milken and Larry Elison's "Knowledge Universe" at 19.

    Helped pioneer crowdfunding in 2004 and built the first ever website to successfully fundraise for a person's medical costs. The site distributed over $3m to 1000+ projects around the world.

    Now: Founder of BetterCompany, which aims to help make every person's work hours the best hours of their life.
