Entrepreneur
I am an serial entrepreneur with a passion for improving the world's health. I believe the best way to do this is to celebrate those doing it right rather then harass those doing it wrong. This is my life's mission. It is not a mission that I found but rather one that found me when I had a health crisis in 2010. Before that, I was a technology entrepreneur who built and sold two companies and helped to start, advise, and invest in a number of startups.
The first startup I co-founded was Andale which was eventually sold to Alibaba. My second company was Like.com (originally Riya) was purchased by Google in 2010. My most recent venture is Health IQ where we are reinventing insurance for health conscious people by using big data to get them the rates they deserve.
I have invested & advised a number of health technology and consumer Internet technology companies:
Refresh (sold to Linkedin), Meebo (sold to Google), Auytpma (sold to Oracle), Blindsight (sold to Amazon), Digital Jones (sold to Dealtime), RocketFuel (NASDAQ: Fuel), Gyft (sold to FirstData), MesmoTV (sold to GSN), Lynx (sold to Google), Swell (sold to Apple), Kabam (sold to Netmarbles), Flipora (sold to RevContent), Iodine (sold to GoodRX), TaskRabbit, Bitium, Counsyl, , Interaxon (maker of the Muse), Labdoor, Bridge.us, ThirdLove, MaiCoin, Pubmatic, Hightail (formerly Yousendit), Pylba, Reify, Alation, Scopely, Honor, Spot On, uBiome, PatientPing, Beeline Bikes, Civic, and Wildflower Health.
